Zoladex (goserelin) is a man-made form of a hormone that regulates many processes in the body. Goserelin overstimulates the body's own production of certain hormones, which causes that production to shut down temporarily.
Zoladex implants are used to treat symptoms of prostate cancer in men.
The Zoladex implant is used in women to treat breast cancer or endometriosis. Zoladex is also used in women to prepare the lining of the uterus for endometrial ablation (a surgery to correct abnormal uterine bleeding).
Zoladex is sometimes used in combination with another cancer drug called flutamide.
