Testing changes in prostate biopsy and ablation care
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at two ways to improve prostate procedures: 1) whether adding local anesthesia during a biopsy (while you’re already sedated) makes a difference, and 2) whether a standard care plan before and after focal gland ablation helps recovery compared to usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a transperineal prostate biopsy (with IV sedation) at JRSC or Monmouth.
- Or you are scheduled for a partial prostate gland ablation at JRSC.
- You are willing to be assigned to receive either local anesthesia or no local anesthesia during the biopsy (if applicable).
- You are willing to follow a standard care pathway or a new periprocedural plan (if having ablation).

This trial tests whether freezing only the cancer area in the prostate (focal cryotherapy) can control intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It aims to limit treatment to one tumor focus while closely checking results with targeted and follow-up testing.
This study collects information from men with prostate cancer who are having or have had a procedure to destroy prostate tumors (ablation). It aims to track outcomes over time to improve future treatments.
This study tracks men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer who had a newer, targeted treatment that only treats the cancer area, not the whole prostate. It aims to see how well these treatments work in real life and may help guide future care.
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 is testing a new approach to prostate biopsy that takes samples from around a suspicious area seen on MRI. It aims to see if this method can better detect prostate cancer compared to standard biopsy.
This trial is comparing two different MRI-guided radiation treatment plans to see which one better improves sexual quality of life in prostate cancer. It may help people decide between shorter or more treatment-session radiation approaches.
