Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer in children where tumors develop from a type of nerve cell. Although rare, it's the most common type of cancer in infants, and it鈥檚 often found when a child is two years old (or younger). Because neuroblastoma sometimes starts in the abdomen, doctors may even diagnose it during prenatal ultrasounds. Our care teams have extensive experience with neuroblastoma 鈥 and we work together to create treatment plans that meet the individual needs of your child and family.聽
