Overview
Patients with primary diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer are randomly divided into two groups. One group receive standard of care ADT continually. Another group receive ADT plus prostate cryotherapy. Patients are followed up until their death or withdraw from this study due to other reasons. The primary endpoint of this study is prostate cancer Progression-Free Survival. The secondary endpoint is overall survival, prostate cancer specific survival and health-related quality of life.
