Neuroblastoma is a Cancer that strikes 650 children a year and occurs before they are 2 years of age. It is a Neuroendocrine Tumor and commonly begin in the adrenal glands but may also develop in the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis of a child. The cause of Neuroblastoma is Unknown but is believed to be from accidental cell growth of the adrenal glands that occurs during development.

Here is some info to educate you on Neuroblastoma, who it targets and How
DIAGNOSIS or SIGNS of Neuroblastoma:
* The First symptoms are often vague & may include Fatigue, Loss of Appetite & Fever
* Later symptoms depend on the tumor location:
STAGES OF Neuroblastoma:
- Stage 1: Localized tumor confined to the area of origin.
- Stage 2A: Unilateral tumor with incomplete gross resection; identifiable ipsilateral and contralateral lymph node negative for tumor.
- Stage 2B: Unilateral tumor with complete or incomplete gross resection; with ipsilateral lymph node positive for tumor; identifiable contralateral lymph node negative for tumor.
- Stage 3: Tumor infiltrating across midline with or without regional lymph node involvement; or unilateral tumor with contralateral lymph node involvement; or midline tumor with bilateral lymph node involvement.
- Stage 4: Dissemination of tumor to distant lymph nodes, bone marrow, bone, liver, or other organs except as defined by Stage 4S. ( this is Tuesday’s Stage)
- Stage 4S: Age <1 year old with localized primary tumor as defined in Stage 1 or 2, with dissemination limited to liver, skin, or bone marrow (less than 10 percent of nucleated bone marrow cells are tumors).
Survivors of intermediate and high-risk treatment often experience hearing loss. Growth reduction, thyroid function disorders, learning difficulties, and greater risk of secondary cancers affect survivors of high-risk disease. An estimated two of three survivors of childhood cancer will ultimately develop at least one chronic and sometimes life-threatening health problem within 20 to 30 years after the cancer diagnosis.
