Prostate cancer tissue study to understand nerve invasion
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at prostate cancer tissue samples to understand how cancer spreads to nearby nerves and what that means for your outlook. By examining the tissue in detail, researchers hope to find better ways to predict and treat prostate cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer (confirmed by a biopsy or other tissue test).
- You have had a prostate biopsy or prostate removal surgery, and tissue samples are available for the study.
- Your tissue samples are in good enough condition for detailed testing.
- Your medical records include important details like PSA levels, tumor grade, stage, and whether cancer has spread to nerves (perineural invasion).

This study looks at bacteria inside prostate tumors and how they affect the immune system. It aims to understand why some prostate cancers grow faster, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial studies the “microenvironment” around prostate cancer metastases, using specimens taken during biopsy and other scans. It may help researchers understand what drives prostate cancer spread and improve future treatment choices.
This trial collects tumor samples from men with prostate cancer to study the bacteria and other microbes inside the tumor. It aims to learn how these microbes might affect the cancer and treatment.
This trial enrolls adults who are being evaluated or treated for possible or confirmed prostate cancer and allows researchers to collect prostate tissue. It may help improve understanding of prostate cancer over the course of diagnosis and standard care.
This trial studies a new therapy target for people with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. You may be a candidate if you can provide a cancer tissue sample and are able to consent to the study.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans and detailed tissue analysis to better detect prostate cancer. It is for people with confirmed prostate cancer who are already scheduled for prostate removal surgery.
