Summary

This study looks at whether older men (70+) with prostate cancer who have been on hormone therapy for over three years can stop taking it. The idea is that their bodies may no longer produce testosterone, making the treatment unnecessary. Researchers will monitor testosterone levels to see if they stay low after stopping the medication.
