Overview
Surgery
- Surgical intervention alone may be curative as a single therapeutic modality for the management of low risk neuroblastoma patients.
- Surgical intervention must be followed by chemotherapy for the management of intermediate risk neuroblastoma patients.
- The potential benefit of aggressive surgical approaches to achieve complete tumor resection in high-risk patients with metastatic disease has not been clearly demonstrated.[1][2]
- Surgical complications following neuroblastoma resection may include:[3]
- Intussusception
- Internal haemorrhage due to vessel injuries
- Nerve injuries
