NCT ID NCT02189486
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gathered information and samples from 382 men with low-grade prostate cancer to create a tool that can better predict if the cancer is actually more aggressive than it appears. The goal is to help doctors and patients make more informed decisions about treatment. Participants had their prostate removed, and researchers compared the initial biopsy results with the final tissue analysis.
