3D-printed implants for chest wall reconstruction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed implant that dissolves over time to help rebuild the chest wall after tumor removal. It may offer a safer and more personalized option for people needing chest wall surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a tumor in your chest wall confirmed by a CT scan and biopsy.
