The [[etiology]] of neuroblastoma is not well understood. Several risk factors have been proposed and are the subject of ongoing research.

Due to characteristic early onset many studies have focussed on parental factors around [[fertilisation|conception]] and during [[gestation]]. Factors investigated have included occupation (i.e. exposure to chemicals in specific industries), smoking, alcohol consumption, use of medicinal drugs during pregnancy and birth factors, however results have been inconsistent.<ref>Olshan, AF, Bunin, GR (2000) Epidemiology of Neuroblastoma.
