First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tested a steroid called triamcinolone, given as a shot, in 55 men with castration resistant prostate cancer (cancer that no longer responds to standard hormone therapy). The goal was to see if it could control the cancer longer than current steroid pills, which typically work for about 4 months. By delaying the need for chemotherapy, the treatment aims to maintain quality of life in older patients.
