Best Answer

The short answer is yes. Neuroblastomas are a type of carcinoma associated with the sympathetic nervous system.

(Just so we have the terms down, any abnormal cell growth is called a neoplasm (or tumor). One that has a strong potential to be invasive and spread is called a malignant neoplasm (also called a malignant tumor, carcinoma, or cancer); neoplasms without these properties are called benign neoplasms (or benign tumors). So your question is a little redundant, but that's just fine. Cancer terminology is a little difficult to get a handle on.)
