Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a rare type of cancer that develops from immature nerve cells and most commonly affects infants and young children. It typically arises in the adrenal glands but can also develop in the abdomen, chest, or spine. Symptoms vary depending on the tumor’s location. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplant.
