Creatine and exercise to keep muscles strong in prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking creatine plus doing resistance exercises at home can help men with prostate cancer maintain muscle mass and slow cancer growth. You would take creatine or a placebo for 52 weeks and do simple strength exercises twice a week.
