Summary

This trial aims to see how a weight management program affects certain substances in the blood that can indicate the presence or severity of cancer, compared to just following a basic diet and exercise plan.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer (stages T1 or T2) who are overweight or obese, with a BMI between 25-45 kg/m2. Participants must be scheduled for radical prostatectomy and have internet access to join the study.
What is being tested?
The study is examining the effects of a weight management program on cancer biomarkers in blood versus just receiving an educational flyer about diet and exercise. It aims to see if managing weight can influence recovery from surgery and cancer outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive interventions like education and weight management programs, side effects may include typical reactions to lifestyle changes such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or dietary adjustment discomfort.
