Tumor removal and 3D-printed implant reconstruction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 70 years old.
- You have a primary bone tumor (cancerous or locally aggressive) or cancer that has spread to the bone from breast, lung, prostate, kidney, or thyroid cancer.
- The bone loss is too large for standard prostheses or typical surgery.
- You are willing to have a custom 3D-printed implant and be followed for at least 12 months.
- For some patients: you have already had the surgery and completed follow-up questionnaires in the past.
- You must be able to give informed consent, unless you are participating in the retrospective part of the study (and have passed away).
