==Overview==
Neuroblastoma may progress to develop [[fatigue]], [[loss of appetite]], [[joint pain]] and [[fever]] if left untreated. There is gradual [[development]] of site specific [[Symptom|symptoms]] as the [[tumor]] size gradually increases. [[Complication (medicine)|Complications]] of neuroblastoma include persistent refractory [[diarrhea]], [[horner's syndrome]], [[hypertension]], [[Transverse myelitis|transverse myelopathy]], [[anemia]] and [[Immunodeficiency|suppressed immunity]]. The [[prognosis]] of neuroblastoma is generally regarded as poor, depending on the [[tumor]] extent at the time of [[diagnosis]]. The other [[Prognosis|prognostic]] factors for nuroblastoma include patient's [[age]], [[tumor]] stage and grade, [[genetic mutations]] and response to treatment.

Overview

Neuroblastoma may progress to develop fatigue, loss of appetite, joint pain and fever if left untreated. There is gradual development of site specific symptoms as the tumor size gradually increases. Complications of neuroblastoma include persistent refractory diarrhea, horner's syndrome, hypertension, transverse myelopathy, anemia and suppressed immunity. The prognosis of neuroblastoma is generally regarded as poor, depending on the tumor extent at the time of diagnosis. The other prognostic factors for nuroblastoma include patient's age, tumor stage and grade, genetic mutations and response to treatment.

Natural History

Complications

Prognosis

  • Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis of neuroblastoma is generally regarded as poor.[7][8][9][10]
  • INSS stage 1, stage 2, and stage 4S neuroblastomas are associated with a 3 year survival rate of 75-90%.
  • INSS stage 3 neuroblastoma is associated with a 3 year survival rate of 80-90% among patients younger than 1 year of age.
  • INSS stage 3 neuroblastoma is associated with a 3 year survival rate of 50% among patients older than 1 year of age.
  • INSS stage 4 neuroblastoma is associated with a 3 year survival rate of 60-75% among patients younger than 1 year of age.
  • INSS stage 4 neuroblastoma is associated with a 3 year survival rate of 15% among patients older than 1 year of age.
  • The table below lists the prognostic factors for neuroblastoma patients:[11][12][13][14]
Prognostic Factor Description
Patient's Age
Patients older than 18 months of age are associated with poor prognosis.
Tumor Stage
Advanced INSS stages of neuroblastoma are associated with poor prognosis.
Tumor Grade
An unfavorable Shimada histology index is associated with poor prognosis.
Schwannnian Stroma
Reduced schwannian stroma content on histological analysis is associated with poor prognosis.
Mitotic-karyorrhectic Index
A high mitotic-karyorrhectic index is associated with poor prognosis.
Genetic Mutations
Chromosome 1p deletion, chromosome 11q deletion, and N-MYC oncogene amplification are associated with poor prognosis.
Response to Treatment
Patients whose neuroblastoma responds to treatment and goes into complete remission have a better prognosis than people whose cancer does not respond to the initial treatment.
