Drug combo before surgery aims to save men's sexual function

NCT ID NCT02949284

Summary

This study is testing whether giving hormone-blocking drugs for three months before prostate cancer surgery helps surgeons better preserve the nerves needed for sexual function. Men with high-risk prostate cancer are randomly assigned to receive either one drug, a combination of drugs, or no drugs before their operation. The main goal is to see if these pre-surgery treatments improve the chances of maintaining potency after surgery.
