Neuroblastoma: A 20‐year experience in a UK regional centre

Abstract

While complete tumour resection may be desirable in advanced neuroblastoma (stage 3-4) these findings suggest that the radicality of operation is not significantly associated with better overall survival/relapse. Improving outcomes in the 1995-2005 era for patients with stage 3-4 tumours complements the introduction of new high dose-intensive chemotherapy regimens and other adjuvant therapies for this enigmatic disease.
