Artery imaging before surgery for chest neuroblastic tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking special X-ray images of a key artery in the spine before surgery can help prevent nerve damage when removing a type of nerve tumor (neuroblastic tumor) from the lower chest area. The goal is to keep the spinal cord safe during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for a tumor called neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, or ganglioneuroma.
- The tumor was in the lower back of your chest, between ribs 8 and 12.
- The tumor may have grown into the spinal canal or not.
- You had the surgery in a children's hospital in France between 2005 and 2024.
- You or your parents agreed that your medical information could be used for this study.
- You have at least 6 months of follow-up after the surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses special PET/CT or SPECT/CT scans that light up certain types of tumor cells (neuroblastoma and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma). The scans help doctors see where the cancer is, how far it has spread, and whether treatment is working.
This trial uses your medical images (like MRI or angiography) to create a personalized map of your brain's blood vessels. The goal is to help doctors better plan minimally invasive treatments for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations.
This study checks whether a special MRI scan can measure blood flow in certain neck artery branches. It compares results in different groups (healthy people and people with past neck radiation or procedures) to see how well the scan works.
This trial uses special imaging before and after treatment to see if it can predict how well triple-negative breast cancer responds to chemotherapy plus immunotherapy given before surgery. Participation could help doctors tailor future treatments.
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when there is a mass that can be removed with surgery. You would join before any treatment, which helps doctors understand the link between the brain lesion and blood vessel function.
This trial tests a new 3D ultrasound method to map blood vessels in the heart and brain before a scheduled artery-clearing surgery. It aims to see if this non-invasive imaging can help doctors understand atherosclerosis without using risky procedures.
