This article discusses findings of studies which investigated the effectiveness of metformin on prostate cancer progression. One study showed a 24% decrease in death from prostate cancer for each cumulative six months of treatment with metformin, conducted by Neil Fleshner and published in the "Journal of Clinical Oncology" in 2013. Another study suggested that metformin could work best in combination with other agents, conducted by Sarah-Maria Fendt published in "Cancer Research" in 2013.
