Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a cancerous tumor that begins in the nerve tissue of infants and young children. As a cancer of the sympathetic nervous system – or the message network between the brain and other parts of the body, development typically begins on or near the adrenal glands in the abdomen, but also originates in the nerve tissue in the neck, head, chest, and pelvis. While Neuroblastoma involves systems and networks in the body that use and work with the brain, brain tumors as a result of Neuroblastoma are uncommon.

It is believed that in many cases, the abnormal cells begin development before birth, and one-third of the cases are diagnosed before the loved one reaches their first birthday. Unfortunately the remaining cases continue to spread in the body (metastasize), and only becomes noticeable to parents and doctors when the spreading disease causes pain or discomfort to the child. Most cases are officially diagnosed before a child’s 5th birthday.   more
