- Diet and lifestyle changes are essential for treating obesity, but often aren't enough for lasting weight loss, leading to a need for new drugs.
- * Researchers are focusing on glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) as they show promise in overcoming the limitations of traditional weight loss methods and have cardiovascular benefits.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of men treated with RP from 1988 to 2008 was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups by age at the time of RP, and RFS rates were analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves.
