Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is cancer often found in the small glands on top of the kidneys (adrenal glands). It can develop in the stomach, chest, neck, pelvis, and bones. Children aged five or younger are most commonly affected.
Symptoms may include fatigue, loss of appetite, and fever. There may be a lump or compression of tissues in the affected area.
Neuroblastoma usually requires surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation.
