Vantas (histrelin) is a man-made form of a hormone that regulates many processes in the body. Histrelin overstimulates the body's own production of certain hormones, which causes that production to shut down temporarily.

The Vantas implant is used to treat symptoms of prostate cancer in men.

Vantas treats only the symptoms of prostate cancer but does not treat the cancer itself.
