Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 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;

    up to 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • PSA level change

    At the end of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 (each cycle is 21 days)

  • Biochemical progression-free survival after radical prostatectomy

    The evaluation period was up to 1 year ( from the date of completion of surgery to the date of first recorded psa progression)

  • Pathologic responses after radical prostatectomy (including positive surgical margin, tumor size, prostatic extension, seminal vesicle infiltration, and lymph node involvement)

    up to 4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Geranium wilfordii combined with androgen deprivation treatment group

EXPERIMENTAL

Geranium wilfordii 15g decoction (Geranium 15g, decocted by the decocting machine in the decocting room of the pharmacy Department of the hospital) was taken orally, 200mL/ time, once/day, for 3 months + continuous androgen deprivation treatment.After completion of treatment, radical prostatectomy was performed 3 weeks later (±7 days).
