What is the role of Leuprolide in managing hormone-sensitive cancers?

Leuprolide is used in hormone-sensitive cancers like prostate and breast cancer to inhibit hormone production, thus slowing tumor growth by depriving them of necessary growth stimuli.
Leuprolide is a GnRH agonist that reduces hormone levels to slow or halt hormone-sensitive cancer growth, such as in prostate or breast cancer.
