Prostate cancer PSA monitoring after surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how PSA levels in drainage fluid change after prostate removal surgery to predict outcomes. It may help doctors understand your recovery and future risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
- You are scheduled to have or have had your prostate removed (radical prostatectomy).
- You have not received hormone therapy or chemotherapy before surgery.
- You do not have urine leakage after surgery (your drainage fluid will be tested).

This study looks at how a marker (tumor DNA) in your drainage fluid changes after prostate removal surgery. It may help predict the outcome of your cancer, giving you more information about your recovery.
This study looks at how PSA (a blood marker) levels measured shortly after prostate removal surgery can predict whether cancer comes back. Researchers hope this helps doctors identify patients who may need closer monitoring or additional treatment after surgery.
This study looks at a simple test on the fluid from your drain after prostate surgery to see if it can help predict how your cancer will progress. If you qualify, your participation may help doctors better monitor patients like you.
This trial studies whether testosterone levels before and around radical prostate surgery affect cancer control and sexual/physical recovery. It may help doctors understand who benefits from testosterone replacement and who should not.
This trial tests a PET scan (flotufolastat F 18) to find tiny prostate cancer cells in men whose PSA is very low but still rising after prostate removal. It may help guide further treatment decisions.
This trial looks at using a PSMA PET/CT scan to better re-check cancer activity in men whose PSA has started rising after prostate removal. If you qualify, the scan may help doctors choose the next best treatment step.
