Doctors question routine lymph node removal in prostate cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT04269512
Summary
This study aims to find out if removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery helps prevent the cancer from returning, or if skipping this step avoids unnecessary risks. Researchers are comparing two groups of men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer: one group gets standard surgery with lymph node removal, while the other gets surgery without it. The goal is to see if there's any difference in cancer recurrence rates and to measure complications from the lymph node procedure itself.
