Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) in Finding Tumors During Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer

In brief

This pilot clinical trial studies mechanically-manipulated ultrasound in finding tumors during robotic-assisted surgery in patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound, may help find prostate cancer and find out how far the disease has spread during surgery
