Megetrol acetate se yon kalite terapi òmòn. Hormones yo se sibstans chimik ki pwodui pa glann nan kò a, ki antre nan san an ak efè lakòz nan lòt tisi yo. (Pou egzanp, testostewòn òmòn ki fèt nan tèstikul yo responsab pou karakteristik gason tankou vajan vwa ak cheve ogmante kò). Itilize nan terapi òmòn pou trete kansè a baze sou obsèvasyon an ke reseptè pou òmòn espesifik ki nesesè pou kwasans selil yo sou sifas la nan kèk selil timè. Òmòn terapi travay pa; kanpe pwodiksyon an nan yon òmòn sèten, bloke reseptè òmòn, oswa ranplase ajan chimikman menm jan an pou òmòn a aktif, ki pa ka itilize pa selil la timè. Diferan kalite òmòn terapi yo klase pa fonksyon yo ak / oswa kalite òmòn ki fèt.

Megestrol acetate is a type of hormone therapy. Hormones are chemical substances that are produced by glands in the body, which enter the bloodstream and cause effects in other tissues. (For example, the hormone testosterone made in the testicles is responsible for male characteristics such as deepening voice and increased body hair). The use of hormone therapy to treat cancer is based on the observation that receptors for specific hormones that are needed for cell growth are on the surface of some tumor cells. Hormone therapies work by; stopping the production of a certain hormone, blocking hormone receptors, or substituting chemically similar agents for the active hormone, which cannot be used by the tumor cell. The different types of hormone therapies are categorized by their function and/or the type of hormone that is effected.
