Comparing limited vs. full lymph node removal during prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of lymph node removal during prostate cancer surgery to see if removing fewer lymph nodes is just as effective. It is for men with prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the pelvis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of your body.
- Your doctor says you are healthy enough to have prostate removal surgery.
- You do not have any other active cancer.
- You have no cancer in your lymph nodes based on imaging scans.

This trial tests whether removing pelvic lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery improves outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. If you have high-risk prostate cancer and no signs of spread, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery in men with high-risk disease on one side of the prostate. The goal is to determine whether removing lymph nodes from both sides or just one side provides better outcomes.
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes during prostate removal helps predict outcomes in men whose scans do not show spread. It may help improve how doctors decide who benefits from lymph node surgery based on your risk level and scan results.
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes (small glands that help fight infection) during robotic surgery for mid or low rectal cancer. It aims to see whether removing fewer lymph nodes may be just as effective and cause fewer side effects than removing a larger group of them.
This trial compares radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate) alone versus surgery plus pelvic lymph node removal, with or without additional radiation, for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. It aims to see which approach is more effective and safe.
This trial compares two ways of removing lymph nodes during lung cancer surgery after you've had pre-surgery immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It aims to see if taking only a few key lymph nodes (instead of all of them) is just as effective and leads to fewer side effects.
