ED drug may shield cancer patients from Chemo's painful side effect

NCT ID NCT07333976

Summary

This study tested if tadalafil, a medication also used for erectile dysfunction, could prevent nerve damage caused by a common prostate cancer chemotherapy. Researchers gave 90 men with advanced prostate cancer either tadalafil or standard care alongside their chemotherapy. They wanted to see if the drug could reduce the pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet that often forces patients to stop treatment early.
