Abstract
60 cases of neuroblastoma from the departments of paediatrics and paediatric surgery, Rigshospitalet, are reviewed. The overall cure rate was 35%. In localized disease (stages I--II) the prognosis was favourable (cure rate 78%), while the prognosis for disseminated disease (stages III--IV) was poor (cure rate 10.8%). Neuroblastomas in stage IV-S had a favourable prognosis in spite of metastases to the liver, skin and bone marrow. The clinical stage at the time of diagnosis was the only independent prognostic factor in this study.Entities:
