First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving hormone therapy before prostate cancer surgery helps preserve the ability to have erections afterward. About 90 men with high-risk prostate cancer will receive either one or two hormone drugs before their surgery, and their sexual function will be compared to men who had surgery alone. The goal is to see if shrinking the tumor beforehand allows surgeons to spare more nerves.
