Robot-assisted surgery for prostate or kidney cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether robot-assisted surgery can be a safe and effective way to treat early-stage prostate or kidney cancer. If you are eligible, it could give you access to a less invasive surgical option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer or early-stage kidney cancer (cancer that hasn't spread).
- You are healthy enough to undergo surgery, and your doctor has approved you for a robot-assisted procedure.
- You are willing to provide informed consent to participate.
- For kidney cancer, you must have had a CT or MRI scan with contrast dye to confirm the diagnosis.
- You must not have cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

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 study is testing a special technique in robot-assisted kidney surgery where the blood supply to the kidney is not clamped and the tumor is removed without sutures. It may reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue and speed recovery.
This trial compares different surgical methods for removing kidney tumors using a single-port robot. It aims to find the best approach for treating stage 1 kidney cancer.
This trial compares different robotic platforms used to remove kidney tumors while saving healthy kidney tissue. It aims to see which system works best for patients with localized kidney tumors.
This study tests a remote surgery program where doctors use technology to perform or assist robotic surgery from a distance. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients like you.
This study tests whether using augmented reality (a computer overlay) during robot-assisted surgery for prostate cancer can help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely. It may be an option for people with low or intermediate risk prostate cancer who have good erectile function.
