Summary

This study tests whether taking curcumin (a compound found in turmeric) after prostate removal surgery can help prevent prostate cancer from returning. About 650 men who had their prostate removed for early-stage cancer will take curcumin or a placebo. The main goal is to see if curcumin keeps PSA levels low, which is a sign the cancer hasn't come back.
