What is the role of Leuprolide in managing hormone-sensitive cancers, and how does it affect the growth and progression of tumors through hormonal suppression?
Leuprolide is a GnRH agonist that reduces hormone levels to slow or halt hormone-sensitive cancer growth, such as in prostate or breast cancer.
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.
