Summary

This study looked at whether a supplement called Q-Urol (made from quercetin, bromelain, rye flower pollen, and papain) could reduce prostate inflammation caused by radiation therapy in men with localized prostate cancer. Ten men who had brachytherapy (with or without other radiation or hormone therapy) were randomly assigned to take Q-Urol or a placebo for 6 weeks. The goal was to see if symptoms like pain, urinary problems, and quality of life improved. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
