Prostate cancer study questions routine lymph node removal
NCT ID NCT04269512
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery helps prevent the cancer from coming back in men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Currently, the procedure is standard but can cause side effects like swelling, blood clots, or nerve injury. The trial will compare PSA recurrence rates and quality of life in 3650 men who either get lymph node removal or not, to see if the extra surgery is worth it.
