Perioperative beta blockers and PC recurrence
Don't know if this has been discussed--this just crossed my desk. Non-selective beta-blockers at time of radical prostatectomy was associated with a lower risk of recurrence. Frankly, sounds far-fetched to me: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2788446

Survival after Radical Prostatectomy versus Radiation Therapy in High-Risk and Very High-Risk Prostate Cancer
