Primary outcomePrimary: Concentration of Lycopene in Prostatic Surgical Tissue — 0.663; 0.378; 0.723; 0.165 ug/dL

Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well different doses of lycopene work in treating patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The use of lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may keep prostate cancer from growing or coming back after surgery.
