Details

This trial was comparing hormone therapy and radiotherapy together with hormone therapy alone for prostate cancer that had grown through the covering of the prostate gland (locally advanced prostate cancer).

Doctors often treated locally advanced prostate cancer with hormone therapy alone. The aim of this trial was to see if having a combination of both hormone therapy and radiotherapy helped men to live longer than having hormone therapy alone.
