Breast Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
27. How is hormonal therapy used to treat
breast cancer?
Hormonal therapy keeps cancer cells from getting the hormones they

change the way hormones work. Sometimes it includes surgery to
remove the ovaries, which make female hormones. Like chemotherapy,
hormonal therapy can affect cancer cells throughout the body.
