Summary
This completed study examined how long men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer take newer hormonal therapies like abiraterone, apalutamide, and enzalutamide. Researchers analyzed Medicare claims data from over 3,000 men aged 65 and older. The goal was to describe real-world treatment duration, not to test a new drug.
