New prostate surgery aims to save sexual function without sacrificing cancer control
NCT ID NCT07348367
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of prostate cancer surgery: radical prostatectomy, which removes the entire prostate and surrounding tissue, and precision prostatectomy, which removes most of the prostate but spares nerves and structures important for urinary control and sexual function. Researchers want to see if precision surgery leads to better recovery of erections and continence while still being as effective at controlling cancer. The trial will enroll 160 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer and follow them for 12 months after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
surgery (precision prostatectomy vs radical prostatectomy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer men with prostate cancer a surgical option that preserves sexual and urinary function without compromising cancer control.
What could go wrong
This is an early randomized trial with only 160 participants, and it is not yet proven that precision prostatectomy is as effective as radical prostatectomy at preventing cancer recurrence.
