ClinConnect Summary

The RADICAL PC clinical trial is studying how to improve the heart health and lifestyle of men who have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This trial aims to help patients manage not just their prostate cancer but also any risks related to heart disease and other lifestyle factors. If you are a man diagnosed with prostate cancer within the past year, or if you have started treatment for it recently, you may be eligible to participate.

In this study, researchers will look for ways to support men in making healthy changes that could benefit both their cancer treatment and overall well-being. To join, participants need to be 45 years or older and must be willing to provide consent to be part of the study. Those who have certain heart conditions or are already receiving specific treatments may not be able to participate in all parts of the trial. If you decide to take part, you can expect to work closely with healthcare professionals who will guide you through the process and help you make positive lifestyle changes.
