NCT ID NCT04623658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at 84 cases of sacrococcygeal teratoma, a rare tumor in fetuses and infants. Researchers want to find factors that predict how the tumor will behave, whether it will come back, and what long-term effects it may have. The goal is to give parents clearer information when the tumor is found during pregnancy.
