The available therapy for cancers mostly revolves around chemotherapy,
radiation, immunotherapy, and surgery, but these treatment modalities are not
satisfactorily treating the patients and are associated with various side effects, pain,
immune reduction, trauma, and also induce drug resistance in some patients. Besides,
these treatments do not treat the disease's origin but eliminate the tumor itself
somewhat without confirmation of avoiding its metastasis. Therefore, there is a need to
develop a new effective therapy to treat cancer patients successfully. Hormones
naturally present in the human body for controlling various biological and
physiological functions also possess potential capabilities to treat different types of
cancers. Both preclinical and clinical data show that hormones include anticancer
abilities, are controlled by hormonal managing. This chapter has discussed the cellular
and molecular role of different types of hormones in treating various kinds of cancers
and other pertinent topics related to their impact on stem cell functionality and cancer
management.
