About this trial
The high incidence of prostate cancer is one of the important diseases that threaten the health of old men in our country. Although androgen deprivation therapy is an important treatment option for prostate cancer, although neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy combined with radical prostatectomy reduced the positive rate of surgical margins, it did not show statistically significant improvement in prostate-specific antigen (PSA). At the same time, few trials reported pathological complete response (pCR) and minimal residual lesion (MRD).
The purpose of this project is to verify the efficacy of geranium combined with androgen deprivation in the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer or oligometastatic prostate cancer before radical prostatectomy through randomized controlled clinical trials, so as to find an effective treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer or oligometastatic prostate cancer.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
pCR or MRD rate
pCR (pathological complete response) is defined as cancer that is not morphologically recognizable in a prostatectomy specimen; MRD (small residual lesion) was defined as the maximum cross-section size of the residual tumor ≤5 mm, and RCB (residual cancer load) ≤ 0.25cm3 (tumor volume ≤ 0.5cm3 × tumor cells ≤ 50%) was used to calculate the tumor volume through three-dimensional volume estimation according to the maximum cross-section size and number of cross-sections involved in the tumor. Correction of tumor cell structure;
Secondary outcomes
PSA level change
Biochemical progression-free survival after radical prostatectomy
Pathologic responses after radical prostatectomy (including positive surgical margin, tumor size, prostatic extension, seminal vesicle infiltration, and lymph node involvement)
