Targeted Hormone Therapy

Meaning

Targeted Hormone Therapy is a specialized clinical approach that utilizes specific pharmaceutical agents or bio-identical hormones to modulate the activity of a particular hormone receptor or an enzyme within a specific endocrine pathway to achieve a precise therapeutic effect. Unlike general hormone replacement, this strategy focuses on modulating a single, defined component of the endocrine system, often to treat hormone-sensitive cancers or highly specific endocrine deficiencies. This precision minimizes off-target effects and maximizes therapeutic benefit.
