  1. *Calculated using Cox regression with adjustment for age, tumor risk group, randomization group, use of other medication (antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs, NSAIDs), and whether participants received radiation therapy in addition to ADT.
  2. **Low risk: Gleason <7, T1/2 and PSA below 10, Intermediate risk: Gleason 7, T3 or PSA between 10 and 20, High risk: Gleason >7, T4, M+ or PSA above 20.
