Abstract |
Neuroblastoma is a malignant neoplasm which arises from primitive sympathetic neuroblasts. It is the second most common solid tumor in young children, exceeded in incidence only by brain tumors. This tumor shows immunological features and spontaneous regression. But, in spite of recent advances in multimodality therapy survival rate has not been improved much. We reviewed 33 patients with neuroblastoma who had been diagnosed and treated between 1974 and 1980, and calculated survival rate by life table method |
Key Words:
Nourblastoma, Multimodality therapy |
