Does Hormone Therapy Help Prostate Cancer?

My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer that has metastasized to his liver. I saw the scan and his whole liver is full of tumors. He has been put on hormone therapy. Will, could this really help him at this point? Not getting realistic answers from his doctors. I just lost my sister to liver cancer ( metastasized breast cancer)

Hi
Thanks for asking.
Looking at the history it appears your husband is in stage 4, palliative treatment is the option for metastasis, as this tumor is hormone sensitive.
Hope this helps
Regards
