Electrical sensing for real-time cancer margin check during prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that uses tiny electrical sensors to help surgeons check if all the cancer has been removed during prostate cancer surgery. It could give real-time feedback so the surgeon can remove leftover cancer right away.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prostate cancer and are scheduled for robot-assisted prostate removal (RARP).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device.
- You are not in prison or jail.
- You can make your own medical decisions.

This study tests a new imaging technology during prostate cancer surgery to help surgeons see cancer edges more clearly in real time. The goal is to make sure all cancer is removed while protecting nearby healthy tissue.
This early-phase study uses a tiny implant placed during prostate cancer surgery planning to help researchers measure how tumors respond to treatment while still in the body. The results may help improve future treatment choices for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.
This trial tests a new way to find microscopic cancer cells (minimal residual disease) in the blood after prostate surgery. If successful, it could help doctors decide if additional treatment is needed.
This study tests whether a special microscope can help surgeons see cancer margins (edges) during prostate removal surgery to make sure all cancer is removed. It may help surgeons make real-time decisions about how much tissue to remove.
This trial is looking at whether a new force-feedback feature in the da Vinci robotic system helps surgeons learn and operate more safely when removing the prostate for prostate cancer.
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.
