Predicting neuroblastoma spread risk
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a risk model to help detect if neuroblastoma has spread to the bone or bone marrow in newly diagnosed patients. It aims to improve how doctors identify metastasis without needing extra special tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are newly diagnosed with neuroblastoma (a type of childhood cancer).
- Your diagnosis has been confirmed by a specialist using imaging and lab tests.
- You have not yet started chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
- You have had a bone marrow smear test (a sample of bone marrow taken and stained) already done as part of routine care.

This study looks at medical records from breast cancer patients to create a tool that can better predict if and when the cancer might spread to the bones. By understanding these patterns, doctors may be able to catch bone metastases earlier and improve treatment plans.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy to bones that have cancer spread—but are not yet causing pain or emergencies—can prevent future problems like fractures or nerve damage. It is for people with solid tumors and bone metastases that are at intermediate risk.
This trial tests a new type of targeted radiation treatment for children and adults with neuroblastoma that has come back or not responded to other treatments. The radiation is attached to a substance that seeks out neuroblastoma cells, aiming to destroy them while limiting harm to healthy tissue.
This study looks at people with cancer that has spread to the bones. It uses your medical imaging and records to understand your risk of bone fracture, without testing any new treatment.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy early to bone cancers that haven't caused pain yet can prevent serious problems later. You'd receive preventive treatment to 1–5 spots where cancer has spread to your bones, before they become painful or dangerous.
This trial tests if a special imaging analysis can predict where your cancer might spread. It's for people with advanced lung, colorectal, or breast cancer who are starting or continuing treatment.
