    GlossaryGoserelin (Zoladex)

    reduces sex hormone production to treat hormone-sensitive cancers

    Goserelin, also known by the brand name Zoladex, is a type of medication called a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. It is used to treat hormone-sensitive cancers such as prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in premenopausal women, as well as certain benign gynecological conditions like endometriosis. Goserelin works by reducing the production of sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen), which can help slow the growth of hormone-dependent tumors.
