Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Stratum 1:

- Diagnosis of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas

- At high risk for progression, as defined by any of the following:

- Anatomic location such that progression carries a high risk of impairment of
function, pain, or disfigurement (e.g., neck/mediastinum, paraspinal nerve
roots, orbit, and face)

- Tumors that the patient, family, or caregiver believes have increased in
size within the past year, but appear stable by standard clinical or
radiographic measures

- No plexiform neurofibromas that are small, cause no pain or functional
impairment, or are not likely to cause pain or functional impairment over the
succeeding 12 months

- Stratum 2:

- Diagnosis of NF1 and progressive plexiform neurofibromas

- Neurofibroma progression documented by increase in lesion size on MRI

- Currently being enrolled on a clinical therapeutic trial at Children's Hospital
of Philadelphia
