Surgery plus hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests if removing the prostate and giving strong hormone therapy works better than hormone therapy alone for men whose prostate cancer has spread. It aims to improve how long patients live without the cancer worsening.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing if removing the prostate with surgery, after starting hormone therapy, helps men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to many parts of the body. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to hormone therapy alone.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether removing the prostate (cytoreductive radical prostatectomy) and targeting visible metastases with radiation can improve outcomes for men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer who are already starting apalutamide plus hormone therapy (ADT). It’s meant to see if treating “visible spots” after the initial medication helps the cancer control last longer.
This trial tests whether giving intense hormone therapy along with either radiation or surgery can help men with prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of spots (10 or fewer) but not to organs like the liver or lungs. The goal is to treat both the main tumor and the visible metastatic spots more aggressively.
This Phase 2 trial studies giving strong hormone-based treatment before prostate surgery to shrink and control high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help improve surgical success and reduce cancer spread risk, but it requires careful health checks and prior-treatment limits.
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.
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.
