Antiandrogens are commonly used as prostate cancer drugs. These medications block the actions of specific hormones known as androgens. When treating prostate cancer, the androgen that is targeted is the male hormone known as testosterone. By blocking testosterone production, the growth of the tumor may be significantly slowed. Antiandrogen medications may be used alone, although they are usually combined with other types of hormone replacement drugs or with radiation therapy.
