Whole-body MRI-based long-term evaluation of pediatric NF1 patients without initial tumor burden with evidence of newly developed peripheral nerve sheath tumors

Abstract Background Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) can develop plexiform neurofibromas (PN). Large tumor burden is a predictor for the development of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is the recommended imaging method for the evalu...
