A national clinical trial led by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology has found that oxybutynin, a drug often used to treat overactive bladder symptoms, reduces hot flashes compared to the placebo in men receiving hormone therapy for prostate cancer.
Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have opened a clinical trial that will look at whether combining precision radiation with a targeted radioactive therapy drug can help patients with recurrent prostate cancer delay progression, while delaying or avoiding the side effects of long-term hormone therapy.
