Summary

This study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to targeted radiation could help control prostate cancer that has spread to a few places in the body. Twenty-three men with newly diagnosed, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer took part. The goal was to see if this approach could keep PSA levels low and delay the need for long-term hormone therapy.
