Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug sunitinib to standard hormone therapy can better shrink or control high-risk prostate cancer before the prostate is removed. About 64 men with aggressive, localized prostate cancer will receive the combination treatment for a few months, then undergo surgery. The main goal is to see if the cancer completely disappears in the removed tissue.
