Could less surgery be better for prostate cancer recurrence?

NCT ID NCT04271579

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at men whose prostate cancer has returned after surgery, with new spots found on only one side of the pelvis using a special scan. The goal is to see if removing lymph nodes only on that one side works as well as removing them on both sides, while causing fewer side effects like leg swelling. About 397 men in good health will take part, and the main measure is whether PSA levels drop below 0.2 ng/mL after surgery without needing more treatment.
