   ocr: ALCULA L CUCLCLLLULCLLCS What is hormone therapy and what does it do? Hormones are substances produced by certain organs in the body and they control a number of functions, such as reproduction and growth. Some cancers depend on hormones to grow. Hormone therapy uses hormones such as estrogen or progesterone or anti-hormonal drugs to prevent cancer cells from getting the hormones they need to grow.
