About this trial
High-risk prostate cancer is usually treated with a combination of radiation therapy and hormone therapy (ADT). Radiation destroys cancer cells, while ADT lowers testosterone, a hormone that prostate cancer cells need to grow. Together, these treatments help control the cancer.
ADT is usually given for 18 to 24 months, but it can cause side effects that may affect quality of life.
Some people with high-risk prostate cancer may do just as well with a shorter course of ADT. This study will identify people who are most likely to benefit from shorter treatment using imaging scans and tumor tests. It will then evaluate whether a shorter course of ADT works as well as the standard treatment while reducing long-term side effects.

DrugThe purpose of the study is to identify a subset of patient that may benefit to have a shorter Zoladex treatment (12 months vs 24 months)
