What are GnRH agonists used to treat in females?

  1. Cervical Cancer

  2. Breast Cancer

  3. Ovarian Cancer

  4. Endometrial Cancer

The correct answer is: Breast Cancer

GnRH agonists (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists) are used to treat various gynecologic conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids. While endometrial cancer is a gynecologic condition, it is not commonly treated with GnRH agonists. Cervical cancer and ovarian cancer are not typically treated with GnRH agonists as they are usually treated with other forms of chemotherapy or targeted therapy. Therefore, D is the correct answer as GnRH agonists are most commonly used to treat breast cancer in females.
