U.S., Jan. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06798532) titled 'Interest of Preoperative Arteriography to Identify the Adamkiewicz Artery Before Surgery for Basi-thoracic Neuroblastic Tumors' on Jan. 17.

Brief Summary: Neuroblastic tumors (NBTs) develop from neural crest cells that give rise to the sympathetic nervous system. They include neuroblastomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and ganglioneuromas. They represent approximately 10% of solid tumors in children under 15 years of age. In 15 to 20% of cases, NBTs are located in the thoracic region. These paravertebral tumors have an extracanal component and some also have an intraspinal component (dumbbell tumors) that can cause spinal cord compressio...
