Studying leg swelling and nighttime urination after pelvic node surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate or bladder cancer that has not spread to distant parts of the body
- You are planning pelvic lymph node surgery through the abdomen (transperitoneal approach) or you may be having a salvage lymph node dissection
- Your cancer treatment plan includes surgery to remove pelvic lymph nodes because of cancer diagnosis or recurrence
- Your doctor can explain the study and you (or your legal representative) can sign consent to join
- Your scans (CT/MRI for pelvis and a bone scan) do not show any spread to other places in the body

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.
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes during prostate removal helps predict outcomes in men whose scans do not show spread. It may help improve how doctors decide who benefits from lymph node surgery based on your risk level and scan results.
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.
This study tests whether a special way of finding lymph nodes during hysterectomy can lower the risk of long-term leg swelling or related dysfunction in people with stage I endometrial cancer. It compares standard lymph node assessment with sentinel lymph node mapping and looks at how this affects day-to-day leg functioning.
This study looks at whether a surgical procedure called lymphovenous bypass can help prevent leg swelling (lymphedema) after lymph node removal from the groin or pelvis. Researchers will observe patients who undergo this bypass to see if it reduces swelling compared to traditional recovery.
This trial tests if a surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) can reduce swelling in the leg caused by lymphedema. It's for people with mild to moderate lymphedema who have been cancer-free for at least one year.
