Trial summary

Mediastinal neurogenic tumors are relatively rare in children. Surgical resection is essential. Minimal invasive surgery is more and more used in pediatric population, but his evaluation for resection of thoracic neurogenic tumors is little studied. Thoracotomy has specific long terms post operative complications. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Appraisal of Minimal Invasive Surgery for Thoracic Child Neurogenic Tumour. A Multicentric Study

Mediastinal neurogenic tumors are relatively rare in children. Surgical resection is essential. Minimal invasive surgery is more and more used in pediatric population, but his evaluation for resection of thoracic neurogenic tumors is little studied.

Thoracotomy has specific long terms post operative complications. When compared to thoracotomy, thoracoscopy shows less operative blood loss, shorter duration of chest tube ans length of stay.

Recently, the indications of thoracoscopic approach have been assessed according to the presence or absence of image-defined risk factors (IDRF) at diagnosis and after preoperative chemotherapy in a monocentric retrospective study.

The investigators aimed to conduct a multicentric retrospective study to assess the role of thoracoscopy in neurogenic thoracic tumours according to the presence or absence of IDRF at diagnosis, the surgical complications and outcome.

Mediastinal neurogenic tumors are relatively rare in children. Surgical resection is usually essential in there treatment. Minimal invasive surgery with video assisted thoracic surgery is more and more used in pediatric population, but his evaluation for resection of thoracic neurogenic tumors is little studied.

Thoracotomy has specific long terms post operative complications including scoliosis, shoulder elevation, winged scapula and asymmetric nipples. When compared to thoracotomy, thoracoscopy shows less operative blood loss, shorter duration of chest tube and length of stay.

Recently, the indications of thoracoscopic approach have been assessed according to the presence or absence of image-defined risk factors (IDRF) at diagnosis and after preoperative chemotherapy in a monocentric retrospective study. The authors concluded that thoracoscopy could be used for all paravertebral locations without IDRF except the IDRF of T9-T12 location and the presence of an intraspinal component but should be avoided for perivascular locations due to tight adherences of the tumour to the vessels and hence the risk of important bleeding.

The investigators aimed to conduct a multicentric retrospective study to assess the role of thoracoscopy in neurogenic thoracic tumours according to the presence or absence of IDRF at diagnosis, the surgical complications and outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurogenic Thoracic Tumors, run by Fondation Lenval at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reason of failure of thoracoscopy (time frame: at inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2022.
