NCT ID NCT02454543

First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at whether removing the prostate and nearby lymph nodes, along with standard treatments, helps men with prostate cancer that has spread to a few bones live longer and delay the cancer becoming resistant to hormone therapy. About 452 men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer and limited bone metastases are being followed for up to 10 years. The goal is to see if surgery improves survival, slows progression, and maintains quality of life compared to standard therapy alone.
