What Are the Treatments for a Recurrence of Neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma is a cancer originating from immature nerve cells typically found in an embryo or fetus, according to the American Cancer Society. It is usually diagnosed in children, and it usually starts in nerve tissue in the adrenal gland, neck, chest or spinal cord, states the National Cancer Institute. When a recurrence of neuroblastoma occurs, treatment options are based on whether the recurrence is in one or multiple areas, and the risk grouping of the original neuroblastoma diagnosis.
