Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that develops from immature nerve cells found in various parts of the body. It most commonly affects children, and it is the most common type of cancer in infants. Symptoms of neuroblastoma can vary and may include a lump or swelling in the abdomen, bone pain, poor appetite, and easy bruising. In some cases, the cancer can spread to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes or even the liver or lungs. Treatment for neuroblastoma typically includes a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, and the type of treatment depends on the stage of the cancer, the age of the child, and other factors.
