Can you post the citation and or links to the full journal article for this? I suffered from severe joint pain while I was on ADT. The pain lasted for an additional year and a half after I quit ADT.

The PATCH trial has also merged with the STAMPEDE trial for further analysis, with ongoing meta-analyses expected to provide additional insights
