Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer worldwide. the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy

Incidence

  • The overall incidence rate of neuroblastoma is approximately 4.9 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.

Age

  • The incidence of neuroblastoma decreases with age; the highest incidence is in the first year of life.
  • The incidence of neuroblastoma according to specific age groups is approximately:
  • 25.3 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (0-4) years
  • 2.3 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (5-9) years
  • 0.7 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (10-14) years
  • 0.2 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (20-24) years
  • 0.3 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (25-29) years

Gender

  • Males are slightly more commonly affected with neuroblastoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.12 to 1.
  • The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among males is approximately 5.1 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.
  • The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among females is approximately 4.6 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.

Race

  • Neuroblastoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African American, Native Indian and Asian individuals are less likely to develop neuroblastoma.
  • The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among Caucasians is approximately 5.1 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.
  • The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among African Americans is approximately 4.1 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.
  • The overall incidence rate of neuroblastoma among Native Indians and Asians is approximately 3.8 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.
