==Overview==
==Overview==
Diagnosis of neuroblastoma can be complicated. It has been called the "great masquerader" because its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Even a pathological study (biopsy) might reveal cells that can resemble other small round blue tumor cells, like[[lymphoma|lymphomas]] and [[rhabdomyosarcoma|rhabdomyosarcomas]]. Only a pathologist familiar with neuroblastoma can distinguish the difference (and neuroblastoma is rare).
According to the conventional International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS), there are 6 stages of neuroblastoma based on the [[tumor]] size, [[lymph node]] involvement, and presence of [[metastasis]]. However, according to a newly proposed International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS), there are four stages of neuroblastoma based on the extent of dissemination and image findings. Neuroblastoma patients are risk stratified according to the Children Oncology Group (COG) risk stratification system into a low risk group, an intermediate risk group, and a high risk group based on the [[tumor]] INSS stage, the [[Patient|patient's]] [[age]], [[tumor]] grade, and the amplification of ''MYCN'' [[gene]].
==Staging ==
Neuroblastoma is stratified according to its anatomical presence at diagnosis:


*Stage 1: Localized tumor confined to the area of origin.

Overview

According to the conventional International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS), there are 6 stages of neuroblastoma based on the tumor size, lymph node involvement, and presence of metastasis. However, according to a newly proposed International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS), there are four stages of neuroblastoma based on the extent of dissemination and image findings. Neuroblastoma patients are risk stratified according to the Children Oncology Group (COG) risk stratification system into a low risk group, an intermediate risk group, and a high risk group based on the tumor INSS stage, the patient's age, tumor grade, and the amplification of MYCN gene.

  • According to the conventional International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS), there are 6 stages of neuroblastoma based on the tumor size, lymph node involvement, and presence of metastasis.[1][2][3][4][5]
Stage Description
Stage 1
Stage 2A
Stage 2B
Stage 3
or
  • Unresectable unilateral tumor infiltrating across the midline with positive or negative regional lymph node involvement
or
Stage 4
Stage 4S

International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS)

According to a newly proposed International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS), there are four stages of neuroblastoma based on the extent of dissemination and image findings.[2][6][7][8]

Stage Description
Stage L1
Stage L2
Stage M
Stage MS
