| Abstract |
|
Metastatic neuroblastoma to whole bones and brain generally has been considered incurable, but
some reports have been published with good and partial response after initial chemotherapy followed
by second-look operation. But the long term survival is dismal. Recently we experienced a case of
metastatic neuroblastoma to brain without neurologic symptoms confirmed by computed tomograpy,
who had multiple bony metastases including skull. The whole metastatic lesions to bones and brain
have been clearing up after 3 cycles of multi-agent chemotherapy. So we suggest multi-agent high
dose chemotherapy to the patients with poor prognosis. |
