Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy.[1]
Incidence
- The overall incidence rate of neuroblastoma is approximately 4.9 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.[2]
Age
- The incidence of neuroblastoma decreases with age; the highest incidence is in the first year of life.
- The incidence of neuroblastoma according to specific age groups is approximately:[2]
- 25.3 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (0-4) years
- 2.3 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (5-9) years
- 0.7 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (10-14) years
- 0.2 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (20-24) years
- 0.3 per 1,000,000 individuals aged between (25-29) years
Gender
- Males are slightly more commonly affected with neuroblastoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.12 to 1.
- The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among males is approximately 5.1 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.
- The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among females is approximately 4.6 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.[2]
Race
- Neuroblastoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African Americans, Native Indians, and Asians are less likely to develop neuroblastoma.
- The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among Caucasians is approximately 5.1 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.
- The incidence rate of neuroblastoma among African Americans is approximately 4.1 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.
- The overall incidence rate of neuroblastoma among Native Indians and Asians is approximately 3.8 per 1,000,000 individuals in the United States.[2]
