Study for swelling after prostate or other urinary surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup after urinary (urologic) surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you’re scheduled for or recently had this type of surgery, this trial may help researchers understand how to prevent or treat this swelling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having urinary (urologic) surgery that includes lymph node removal/dissection
- The surgery must involve removing lymph nodes (not just bladder/kidney work without lymph node dissection)
- You may qualify even if you are otherwise healthy, since there are no listed exclusions
Quick eligibility check

This trial looks at why some people develop leg swelling (lymphedema) and frequent nighttime urination (nocturia) after pelvic lymph node surgery for prostate or bladder cancer. It may help doctors better predict and manage these side effects after the operation.
This study looks at how and when swelling (lymphedema) happens after breast cancer surgery on the armpit lymph nodes. You may be followed closely after your planned one-sided procedure to better understand who gets swelling and how it changes over time.
This study looks at how swollen fluid (lymphedema) behaves in the arms and legs using measurements taken from your movement. It aims to better understand the changes in limb tissue, which could help guide future care.
This trial looks at new tools to detect lymphedema (breast or arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, radiation, and have finished active therapy (except certain hormone treatments), researchers want to see if a simple device can spot fluid buildup early.
This study tests an early approach to help prevent lower-limb lymphedema (chronic leg swelling) after lymph node surgery and radiotherapy for gynecologic cancer. If you’re at risk, it may help your legs stay less swollen and reduce complications.
This study looks at what to do to help prevent or better manage leg swelling (lymphedema) after treatment for certain gynecologic cancers. You may be asked to use a diary or app and complete questionnaires so the team can track symptoms over time.
