What is ***hormone therapy for cancer****?
Also referred to as hormonal or endocrine therapy, this cancer treatment is different from menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which refers to the prescription of supplemental hormones to help relieve the symptoms of menopause.

: IMO this option is actually too wordy and impractical. It'd probably work well as a title, but not that much if the term appears repeteadly in the text.

hormone cancer treatment
As an alternative you could also use "hormonal cancer treatment" or "hormone-based cancer treatment." If I were you, I wouldn't use the word "anti-cancer". It's like, for ex. "polio vaccine." You wouldn't find "anti-polio vaccine", and if you do, it'd be very rare. It's just not worded that way in English.

"hormone therapy" works fine, "hormone-based" as well, and I'd say they are equally accurate.
Having said that, ppl certainly use "hormonal therapy":
