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 study uses 3D molds made from radiology images to help plan surgeries for people with cancer. It aims to see if these molds improve the surgery process.
This study tests whether a custom-made, 3D-printed artificial bone implant can safely replace large sections of bone removed during tumor surgery. It may help people with severe bone loss who cannot use standard implants.
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 looks at using a 3D-printed bone replacement during surgery to save a limb for certain bone tumors. It may help patients who need part of a bone removed and replaced with a prosthesis made to fit.
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 study tests whether a 3D-printed implant that matches the shape of bone can safely and effectively support the spine after surgery for certain spine tumors. It may help with stability and recovery when a surgeon removes part of the spine bone (corpectomy).
