Evaluation of Performance Characteristics and Applicability in Oncology of Devices Customized Medical Devices Made by 3D Printing

February 26, 2024 updated by: Kathleen McGreevy
Technologies 3D are demonstrating enormous potential for innovation in the field of surgery,introducing the concept of "treatment customization" (from planning surgery to implant design and manufacturing) on the patient's anatomy, simply by taking advantage of the patient's own common diagnostic images and the flexibility of 3D printing. In fact, this new construction technology allows the construction of the complex anatomical geometries with economy, simplicity and on scales of production unattainable by other traditional technologies.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Pelvic bone neoplasm
Patients with primary tumor of the pelvic bone; Primary meta-diaphysial tumor of the long bones; squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity involving the maxillary upper and/or lower.
Patients will undergo TC/MRI as per routinary care. Custom 3D-devices will be printed on the basis of these images. The device will be used to establish pre-operative surgical options in terms of tissue/bones demolition/reconstruction.
Experimental: Sarcoma pediatric patients
Patients with primary sarcoma of bone and soft parts involving the scapula, the pelvis and upper and lower limbs; brain tumor.
Patients will undergo TC/MRI as per routinary care. Custom 3D-devices will be printed on the basis of these images. The device will be used to establish pre-operative surgical options in terms of tissue/bones demolition/reconstruction.
Experimental: Intracranial oncologic pathology
Patients with intracranial oncologic pathology with bone involvement and lesions of the skull theca primary or secondary.
Patients will undergo TC/MRI as per routinary care. Custom 3D-devices will be printed on the basis of these images. The device will be used to establish pre-operative surgical options in terms of tissue/bones demolition/reconstruction.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
3D model feasibility for pre-surgical making decisions
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Number of cases in which the time interval between prescription and delivery of the device exceeds 20 days
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Surgical time
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Number of procedures in which the surgical outcome can be considered optimal (taking planning as a reference) by comparing CT images and evaluating the margins at final histologic analysis.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Device feasibility
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Proportion of failed surgeries due to a positive or contaminated finding of the margin of bone resection on final histological examination. verified by comparing the expected outcome (i.e., planning output) and the actual outcome (on the postoperative CT scan).
through study completion, an average of 1 year
