Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that starts in early nerve cells called neuroblasts. Normally, these immature cells grow into working nerve cells. But in neuroblastoma (nur-oh-bla-STOW-muh), they grow uncontrollably and become cancer cells that form a solid tumor.
Most neuroblastomas are the result of gene changes in neuroblasts that happen during the child's development, sometimes even before birth. What causes these acquired gene changes is not known. They might be just be random events that sometimes happen inside cells, without having an outside cause.
The only known risk factors for neuroblastoma cannot be changed. There are no known lifestyle-related or environmental causes of neuroblastoma at this time.
The two biggest risk factors for neuroblastoma are age and heredity. Age: Most cases of neuroblastoma are diagnosed in children between the ages of one and two, and 90% are diagnosed before the age of 5. Heredity: 1% to 2% of neuroblastoma cases seem to be the result of a gene inherited from a parent
Surgery is used to treat neuroblastoma that has not spread to other parts of the body. As much of the tumor as is safely possible is removed. Lymph nodes are also removed and checked for signs of cancer. If the tumor cannot be removed, a biopsy may be done instead
Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include
As much of the tumor as is safely possible is removed. Lymph nodes are also removed and checked for signs of cancer. If the tumor cannot be removed, a biopsy may be done instea.
