Summary
This study tests a special microscope that lets surgeons check for leftover cancer cells right after removing the prostate. It involves 20 men with prostate cancer who are already scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if the microscope can accurately find cancer at the edges of the removed tissue, helping surgeons remove any remaining cancer during the same operation.
