Robot surgery for one-sided prostate cancer with urethra preserved
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at a robotic prostate operation that aims to remove only the affected side while keeping the urethra (the tube for urination) to help preserve urinary function. It’s for people with low- to intermediate-risk, one-sided prostate cancer and no spread to lymph nodes, bones, or other organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign the study consent and allow use of your personal data
- Your PSA level at diagnosis is under 20 ng/mL
- Your scans (MRI or PSMA PET) show the cancer is only on one side and not spread
- Your biopsy shows typical prostate cancer (acinar type) with ISUP grade less than 3
- You are well enough for surgery (ECOG 0–1) and expect to live at least 5 years

This study compares two types of robot-assisted surgery for treating prostate or kidney cancer. It aims to see if a single-port approach (through one small incision) is as safe and effective as the standard multi-port approach (through several small incisions), potentially offering faster recovery and less pain.
This trial tests whether using a combined PSMA-PET/MRI and ultrasound navigation system during robot-assisted prostate removal can help the surgeon remove the cancer more completely while preserving surrounding tissue. It is for patients with early-stage prostate cancer that is just starting to spread outside the prostate.
This trial compares two nerve-sparing surgery techniques for prostate cancer to see which one better protects urinary control and sexual function while still removing the cancer. It may help men with early-stage prostate cancer who are planning to have robotic surgery.
This study looks at how your health before surgery affects your erectile function after robot-assisted prostate removal. It aims to help doctors predict and improve recovery of erectile function.
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 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.
