In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating selenomethionine, finasteride, and 1 other intervention for Prostate Cancer. Completed, enrolled 55 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Selenomethionine may slow the growth of prostate cancer. Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Finasteride may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone the body makes. Giving selenomethionine together with finasteride before surgery or radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well selenomethionine and finasteride work when given before surgery or radiation therapy in treating patients with stage I or stage II prostate cancer.
