First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests a combination of three hormone-blocking drugs (abiraterone, enzalutamide, and standard hormone therapy) given before surgery to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that hasn't spread. Researchers also use special PET/CT scans with a new tracer to better see the cancer. The goal is to improve treatment and detection, but men will still need surgery and likely ongoing monitoring.
