GlossaryAntiandrogen Therapy

reduces or blocks male hormones to treat certain conditions

Antiandrogen Therapy, also known as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), is a treatment that reduces the levels or blocks the effects of androgens (male hormones like testosterone) in the body. This therapy is commonly used to treat conditions like prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness) by slowing the growth of cancer cells or reducing hair loss, respectively.
