Robot arm vs. expert hand: can tech beat tremors to catch hidden prostate cancer?

NCT ID NCT07600216

First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026

Summary

This study compares a robotic-assisted biopsy to a standard manual biopsy performed by an expert doctor in men with a high body mass index (BMI). The goal is to see if the robot can detect more aggressive prostate cancers by eliminating hand tremors and improving needle accuracy. About 570 men with suspicious MRI findings will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods, and they won't know which they received to keep the results fair.
