Hormone therapies are a central component of modern medicine, with applications in endocrinology, gynaecology, oncology and beyond. This reference book offers a well-founded insight into the still relatively modern world of hormone therapies, from the biological foundations and scientific mechanisms to clinical applications and future developments, but also the inherent risks. It explains how hormones intervene in complex physiological processes and what therapeutic possibilities arise from this. Numerous examples illustrate the application in the treatment of hormonal disorders, from hypothyroidism to hormone therapy in oncology. One chapter is devoted to the challenges and current issues in hormone therapy, such as transgender treatments or the use of performance-enhancing hormones. Future perspectives such as personalised medicine, new drug developments and the role of hormones in ageing research are also highlighted. An important reference work for physicians, scientists and anyone interested in the multifaceted world of hormones and their therapeutic use. 1st edition 2025
