Muscle loss in older prostate cancer patients under the microscope
NCT ID NCT04484246
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study measured how often muscle loss (sarcopenia) happens in men aged 70 and older with prostate cancer who are treated with radiation and hormone therapy. Researchers screened 112 patients using a simple questionnaire and body scans. The goal was to understand risk factors and how hormone therapy affects muscle health over time.
