Prostate cancer showdown: robot surgery vs. sound waves

NCT ID NCT05610852

First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study compares two modern treatments for men with low-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread: a robotic partial prostatectomy (removing part of the prostate through a single port) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which uses sound waves to destroy cancer cells. The goal is to see which treatment better prevents cancer from coming back. About 276 men will take part, and the study is currently recruiting.
