Can surgery boost control of spread prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT07766486
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether robot-assisted removal of the prostate, along with lymph node dissection, can help control cancer in men with oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer—cancer that has spread to a few spots in the spine or pelvis. Participants have been on hormone therapy for at least six months and have low PSA levels. The trial will track survival, cancer progression, quality of life, and side effects over two years to see if adding surgery to ongoing hormone therapy is beneficial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph-node dissection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a way to better control oligometastatic prostate cancer, potentially improving survival and delaying progression when combined with hormone therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. Surgery carries risks like urinary complications, and it's unclear if it will improve outcomes over hormone therapy alone.
