Hormone therapy, also referred to as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), is normally the first line of treatment to slow the spread of prostate cancer. Male hormones called androgens drive the spread of prostate cancer cells.
If your prostate cancer spreads to other parts of your body, your doctor may tell you that it's metastatic or that your cancer has metastasized.. Most often, prostate cancer spreads to the bones or lymph nodes. It's also common for it to spread to the liver or lungs. It's rarer for it to move to other organs, such as the brain. It's still prostate cancer, even when it spreads. For example, metastatic prostate cancer in a bone in your hip is not bone cancer.
