Two-step surgery for localized prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial studies a “two-step” type of prostate removal surgery for men with localized prostate cancer, focusing on whether it is safe and effective. It may help if you have certain prostate size, PSA level, and tumor features that match their criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate cancer confirmed by a prostate biopsy.
- Your scans show cancer is localized (not spread beyond the prostate region).
- Your prostate is larger than 70 mL on ultrasound or MRI.
- Your Gleason score is 7 or less (up to 4+3).
- Your PSA before surgery is under 20 ng/mL.
- You should be healthy enough that your expected survival is over 10 years.

This early-phase study tests a prostate radiation approach given in two treatments, planned using MRI. It’s designed for men with lower-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer and aims to see if this method is safe and works well.
This study tests removing the entire prostate gland (radical prostatectomy) without doing a biopsy first. It is for men with a very high PSA and strong imaging signs of cancer that has not spread, so they can start treatment sooner.
This trial looks at a planned, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) prostate removal for men with localized prostate cancer done as an outpatient. It aims to understand how this approach fits into care after discussion by a group of specialists.
This study compares different approaches used during prostate cancer surgery for men whose cancer is only in the prostate. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective surgical plan for your situation.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation (called SBRT) to the prostate bed for men whose PSA starts rising after prostate removal surgery. It aims to see if this targeted approach can effectively treat the recurrence without needing long-term hormone therapy.
This trial compares different ways of doing a radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate): robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, or open surgery. It may help improve which approach is best for people having planned prostate removal.
