Results of Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial

In 1993, NCI began funding the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT), a study coordinated by the Southwest Oncology Group to determine whether the drug finasteride (Proscar®) can prevent prostate cancer in men age 55 and older. More than 18,000 healthy men were enrolled at 219 sites in North America between October 1993 and May 1997, with results to be determined after seven years of follow-up. The trial was slated to continue through May 2004.
