Radical surgery trial offers new hope for men with spreading prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT03456843
Summary
This study is testing whether surgically removing the prostate gland, combined with standard hormone-blocking drugs and possibly chemotherapy, works better than drug therapy alone for men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer that has already spread. Researchers want to see if this aggressive approach helps patients live longer without their cancer getting worse and improves their quality of life. The trial randomly assigns 190 men to receive either drug therapy alone or drug therapy followed by surgery.
