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.

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 successful, this could help doctors give better information to parents when a sacrococcygeal teratoma is found during pregnancy.

What could go wrong

This is a retrospective study that looks back at past cases, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patients.
