Infants with neuroblastoma and regional lymph node metastases have a favorable outlook after limited postoperative chemotherapy: a Pediatric Oncology Group study.

Abstract

Infants with POG stage C NB have a favorable outlook, which is similar to infants with POG stage B NB; the surgical staging procedure for distinguishing these infant subsets may not be necessary. Future studies should focus on the reduction of treatment toxicity and efficacy maintenance, and address methods to identify infants at risk for failure.
