Effect of Dutasteride on Androgen-Response Gene Expression During the Tumor Regrowth Phase of Intermittent Androgen Ablation Therapy in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine if the drug dutasteride increases expression of genes that slow the growth of prostate cancer during treatment with intermittent androgen ablation therapy (hormone therapy).
