Children oncology group (COG) risk stratification system determines the protocol of management used for neuroblastoma patients. Low risk neuroblastoma patients are managed with either observation or surgical resection of the tumor. Intermidiate risk neuroblastoma patients are managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advance of a definitive surgical resection. Whereas high risk neuroblastoma patients are managed with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy.
