Hormone therapy is used in the treatment of certain cancers. Its main goal is to reduce the interaction of hormones with cancer cells. This is because some cancer cells (such as breast cancer cells in some cases) have receptors for hormones. By reducing the hormone - cancer cell interaction, the growth of cancer cells can be slowed down. Healthy cells are not the target of hormone therapy in this context. Antigens are related to the immune system's recognition of foreign substances, and vaccines are used to stimulate the immune system to produce immunity, which is not relevant to the mechanism of hormone therapy described here.
