Recruiting NA Neurofibroma

New treatment option for Neurofibroma

Official title Evaluation of Percutaneous Cryotherapy in the Treatment of Plexiform Neurofibromas and Unresectable Neurofibromas in Neurofibromatosis Type 1

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05199376

What this study is testing

What it's testing
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disease affecting chromosome 17. It is manifested by a neurogenic tumor proliferation that forms cutaneous, subcutaneous or deep neurofibromas.
