What is neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects children. It develops from immature nerve cells called neuroblasts. We're collecting resources to help parents who are navigating this challenging space. Check back as this page expands to offer more comprehensive neuroblastoma resources.
Causes
The exact cause of neuroblastoma is unknown, but certain genetic and environmental factors may contribute.
Symptoms
Neuroblastoma often shows no symptoms in its early stages. However, some common signs to watch for include abdominal pain, swollen lymph nodes, and unexplained weight loss
Diagnosis
Neuroblastoma is typically diagnosed through imaging tests, biopsies, and bone marrow examinations.
Treatment
As with many cancers, treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and participation in clinical trials.
