Gene test could spare prostate cancer patients from radical surgery
NCT ID NCT07282808
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a genetic test can help decide which men with prostate cancer can safely have a less invasive treatment called focal therapy, which targets only the tumor instead of the whole prostate. Researchers will enroll 130 men and use the test to classify their cancer as low or high risk for coming back. Those with low-risk genetics will get focal therapy, while high-risk patients will be advised to have standard treatments like surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this personalized approach keeps recurrence rates below 10%.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Decipher GC genetic test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that genetic profiling helps choose the right patients for focal therapy, leading to fewer side effects and better cancer control.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 130 participants. The genetic test may not accurately predict recurrence, and results may not apply to all prostate cancer patients.
