Summary

This study looks at how bacteria in the gut and urine change in men with prostate cancer who are getting hormone therapy and radiation. Researchers will collect stool and urine samples from 30 participants to see if these bacteria affect healing and side effects. The goal is to find new ways to improve quality of life during cancer treatment.
