Surgery plus hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether removing the prostate (surgery) plus standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy can help men whose prostate cancer has spread to many places in the body. It is for men who have not yet had treatment for their cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies giving hormone treatment and radiation before prostate surgery to treat high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to improve cancer control by shrinking or controlling the tumor before removing it.
This trial looks at combining hormone therapy with either chemotherapy (docetaxel), a targeted pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide), or radiation to the prostate tumor for men whose prostate cancer has spread but is still sensitive to hormones. The goal is to see which approach works best for controlling the cancer.
This trial is testing whether giving prostate removal surgery in addition to standard hormone therapy can help men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to many places. It aims to see if this combination helps them live longer with a better quality of life.
This trial tests whether adding surgery to remove the prostate and radiation to visible cancer spots, along with the usual hormone therapy, can help men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread. It aims to see if this more intensive approach can improve outcomes.
This study tests adding a targeted local treatment (like radiation or surgery) to standard hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that still shows up on a special scan. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better.
This trial tests whether adding a surgery called TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) to the usual hormone therapy and chemotherapy can help men with metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to lymph nodes, bone, or other organs. The surgery helps relieve urinary symptoms and may improve how well the cancer responds to treatment.
