MRI to plan less invasive surgery for penile cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies how functional MRI scans (a special MRI that shows how tissues work) can help doctors plan surgery for newly diagnosed penile squamous cell cancer. It may help more people get organ-sparing surgery, which aims to remove the cancer while preserving as much function as possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been newly diagnosed with penile squamous cell cancer.
- Your care team believes you may benefit from organ-sparing surgery (a surgery that tries to preserve more normal tissue).
- You agree to take part in cancer research by signing the broad consent form.

This study uses a special kind of MRI to better “map” prostate cancer inside the prostate. Researchers compare the MRI results with the detailed tissue exam after prostate surgery to see how accurate the imaging is.
This trial tests whether using a PSMA-PET scan before prostatectomy can guide surgery in a way that helps preserve sexual function. It may be most helpful if you have certain kinds of prostate cancer and want to keep erections after surgery.
This trial tests if a special PET scan (PSMA-PET) plus MRI is better than MRI alone at finding the full extent of high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to improve surgical planning by checking scan results against the removed prostate tissue.
This trial studies whether adding an MRI scan improves the selection of people with pancreatic cancer who may benefit from surgery. It focuses on patients without liver spread and with tumors that are borderline or likely removable.
This study uses MRI scans to better plan “curative” treatment (aimed at cure) for sigmoid colon cancer before surgery. It is for people who may still be deciding on the radical (major, curative) treatment plan and who can safely have an MRI.
This trial is testing whether a single MRI scan can replace multiple tests to stage prostate cancer. It is for people with more aggressive or advanced prostate cancer who are planning active treatment like surgery or radiation.
