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.
Prostate cancer most commonly spreads to the bones and lymph nodes. It can also spread to, or press on, the tube that carries urine through the penis (the urethra), the bladder, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters) and part of the bowel (rectum). More rarely, prostate cancer may spread to other parts of the body including the lungs and liver.
