Biopsy-based lab treatment from TURP tissue
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses small tissue samples taken during a standard prostate procedure called TURP to build and test new lab-grown materials. It may help researchers develop better options for bladder/prostate tissue repair in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a TURP (a prostate procedure through the urethra).
- Your prostate is estimated by ultrasound to be 30 grams or larger.
- You are an adult (past the age of legal adulthood).
- You are covered by a social security health system.
- You agree to be informed about the study and you do not oppose using your tissue samples.

This trial studies a redesigned surgical instrument used during bladder tumor removal, to see if it can improve how the removed tissue samples are collected. It may help future patients by supporting better study of bladder tissue during cancer care.
This study is building a tool to predict how well a surgery called TURP (a procedure to remove part of the prostate) works for men with an enlarged prostate. It may help you and your doctor decide if TURP is a good option for your symptoms.
This study collects clinical and tissue samples from people who are having surgery for bladder cancer and related urinary-tract tumors. It aims to improve understanding of cancer and may help future care by building a large research dataset.
This study collects and studies blood and, when possible, small tissue samples from people with prostate or bladder/urothelial cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to better understand these cancers and support future research that may lead to better care.
This trial tests whether using real-time ultrasound during endoscopic prostate surgery helps surgeons remove prostate tissue more completely and safely. Men aged 50-80 with an enlarged prostate who are scheduled for certain types of prostate surgery may be eligible.
This trial uses leftover tumor tissue from biopsies or brachytherapy to grow mini-tumors in the lab. Researchers want to test different treatments on these mini-tumors to find the best options for patients with high-risk or recurrent prostate cancer.
