- Abstract
Oncological treatment is often associated with a wide range of adverse effects. The article focuses on systemic complications that may occur during the hormonal therapy of prostate and breast cancer. Considering that current treatments are increasingly effective, the number of patients suffering from early and remote complications of cancer therapy can be expected to rise. Many undergo radical treatment and in this group in particular, close attention should be paid to the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of adverse effects. Hormonal disorders and their complications considerably affect the quality of life and life expectancy by upsetting general systemic homeostasis.
