Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug homoharringtonine to standard hormone therapy before prostate removal surgery can better shrink or eliminate tumors. About 96 men with locally advanced or limited metastatic prostate cancer will receive either the combo or hormone therapy alone before surgery. The goal is to see if the combo leads to fewer cancer cells left behind and longer remission.
