The cost of Hormone therapy in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Hormone therapy for cancer blocks or lowers hormones that help some cancers grow, such as breast and prostate cancer. The cost depends on:

• Medicine: tablets, monthly or three-monthly injections.
• Length of treatment: often five years or more.
• Monitoring: bone scans and blood tests.
• Combined treatments

Hormone therapy is ongoing treatment, often for years. Ask whether a quote covers one month, a year or the whole course.

Cancer Research UK explains hormone therapy is used for oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, usually after surgery. Options include tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors after menopause, and ovarian suppression. Treatment usually lasts 5 to 10 years.

CRUK lists hot flushes, joint pain, tiredness and vaginal dryness. Aromatase inhibitors and ovarian suppression can thin bones, so bone checks and calcium or vitamin D may be advised. Do not stop treatment without talking to your team.

Hormone therapy is also used for prostate cancer and some womb cancers. This page covers cancer treatment, not menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
