3D printed models for surgery planning
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a 3D printed model of your tumor helps surgeons plan operations better than standard scans. It might improve outcomes for people with bone-invasive tumors that need to be removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 13 years or older.
- You have a tumor that has spread into the bone and needs surgery (for example, in the face, spine, leg, or pelvis).
- You are willing to have a detailed scan (like a CT or MRI) that can be used to make a 3D model.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have serious health conditions like bleeding disorders, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or HIV.
- Your surgical team agrees that using a 3D model is acceptable for your case.

This trial uses custom 3D printed bone replacements to help save your limb during surgery for bone cancer. The goal is to see if these implants work well and improve your recovery.
This trial is testing whether removing a bone tumor and rebuilding the bone with a custom 3D-printed implant works well. It may help people with large bone tumors that can't be treated with standard prosthetics.
This trial uses MRI scans to create 3D printed models of kidneys with tumors. It aims to help surgeons plan operations. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for kidney tumor removal.
This trial uses 3D computer models of children's tumors to help surgeons plan and perform safer operations. It is for children with tumors in the pelvic area (lower belly) or retroperitoneal area (deep in the back of the belly) who need an MRI or CT scan before surgery.
This trial is testing if a 3D printed model of your kidney helps surgeons better plan and perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing only part of the kidney) for kidney tumors.
