Nerve sheath neoplasm
MONDO:0002547A benign or malignant neoplasm arising from the perineural cells in the sheaths surrounding the nerves. Representative examples include neurofibroma, schwannoma, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
Also known as: neoplasm of nerve sheath, neoplasm of the nerve sheath, nerve sheath neoplasm, nerve sheath tumor, tumor of nerve sheath, tumour of nerve sheath

New hope for rare childhood cancer: drug cocktail aims to shrink tumors and prevent return
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is for children and young adults (up to age 30) with a rare type of soft tissue cancer called non-rhabdomyosarcoma. It tests whether adding the drugs pazopanib and selinexor to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes. Participants receive treatment tailored to their…

New stem cell approach aims to fight tough childhood cancers
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a special stem cell transplant for children, teens, and young adults (ages 6 months to 25 years) with solid tumors that have come back or not responded to treatment. The transplant uses cells from a donor, with certain immune cells removed to reduce side effects,…

New shorter radiation therapy could tame brain tumors
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a shorter course of high-dose proton radiation for people with non-cancerous brain tumors like meningiomas and schwannomas. The goal is to see if fewer treatments can still control tumor growth while reducing side effects and being more convenient. About 70 adult…

New study hopes to spot cancer early in NF1 patients
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study is for people aged 3 and older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition that often causes noncancerous nerve tumors. About half of people with NF1 get these tumors, and sometimes they turn cancerous. Researchers want to test a new method to predict whic…
