Hormone Therapy Response

Meaning

Hormone Therapy Response refers to the observed clinical and physiological changes that occur in an individual following the administration of exogenous hormones or hormonal antagonists to address an underlying endocrine deficiency, excess, or receptor-mediated condition. A positive response is characterized by the resolution of deficiency symptoms, achievement of target biochemical levels, or suppression of hormone-dependent disease progression, such as in cancer treatment. Conversely, a poor response may necessitate dosage adjustment, a change in formulation, or an investigation into non-adherence or alternative underlying pathologies.
