Question

What are the care measures for neuroblastoma?

Answer

After complete removal of the primary tumor in children, no further treatment is required. In recent years, there has been a reevaluation of stage 1 tumors in children under 1 year old, which found that most can regress spontaneously. Therefore, for patients with stage A tumors, if the tissue structure is good, there is no lymph node metastasis, NSE and ferritin are normal, and the N-myc gene is negative, routine chemotherapy for 12 cycles after surgery is sufficient, with regional radiation therapy as necessary.
