PSMA-guided surgery for prostate cancer with lymph node spread
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a special type of surgery, guided by PSMA-PET scans, works for men with prostate cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes in the pelvis. It aims to improve outcomes and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (not yet treated with hormone therapy).
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove your prostate or lymph nodes in the pelvis.
- You have 2 or fewer PSMA-PET scan-positive lymph nodes in the pelvis.
- If you've had prostate surgery before and now have recurrence, your PSA level must be below 2 ng/ml.
- You have not received hormone therapy (ADT) in the last 3 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether operating on a small, one-sided (unilateral) area of prostate cancer spread in the pelvic lymph nodes—found on a PSMA PET scan—can help control recurrence. It’s meant for people whose PSA is still low and whose spread appears limited on the scan.
This study tests whether a special prostate scan called PSMA PET/CT can help doctors decide which pelvic lymph nodes to remove during prostate surgery. It may improve who needs lymph node surgery by using scan results to guide the operation.
This trial tests whether using a specialized PSMA PET scan to guide radiation can better treat prostate cancer that returns after prostate surgery. It targets the “prostate bed” area with a shorter, stronger radiation schedule (hypofractionated) to control rising PSA levels.
This early study uses a special imaging tracer to show where prostate cancer has spread in the pelvic lymph nodes. It may help doctors better understand how well certain scans guide surgical removal of affected lymph nodes.
This trial tests if a special PET scan using PSMA-1007 can find prostate cancer spread in men who have just been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer and plan to have surgery. The scan may help doctors better understand the cancer before removing the prostate and lymph nodes.
This trial is testing whether a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) before surgery can help doctors decide if you need to remove lymph nodes. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer who are already planning to have robot-assisted prostate removal.
