Can a simple scan save kids from paralysis during tumor surgery?

NCT ID NCT06798532

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks back at medical records of 150 children who had surgery for neuroblastic tumors in the lower chest. Some had a special X-ray (arteriography) before surgery to map a key spinal artery, while others did not. Researchers want to see if the imaging helps prevent spinal cord damage after surgery. The goal is to find out whether this extra step is worth doing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If this study finds that arteriography reduces complications, it could help standardize care and improve safety for children undergoing surgery for these tumors.

What could go wrong

This is a retrospective chart review, not a controlled trial, so it can only show associations, not prove cause and effect. The results may not change current practice.
