Robot vs. human hand: which finds prostate cancer better?
NCT ID NCT02871726
Summary
This study is testing whether a new robotic system can help doctors perform more accurate prostate biopsies. Researchers will compare the robotic system against current standard biopsy methods in 483 men who need a prostate check due to elevated PSA levels or an abnormal exam. The goal is to see if the robot helps find more serious cancers while avoiding unnecessary detection of less serious ones.
