The four types of treatment used are: surgery (removing the tumor in an operation), radiation therapy (using high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells), chemotherapy.
After completion of a course of treatment for neuroblastoma, physicians sometimes recommend that the child undergo an investigative operation. This procedure allows the treatment team to evaluate how effective treatment.
The treatment team usually consists of an oncologist specialized in the treatment of neuroblastoma, a surgeon to perform biopsies and possibly attempt surgical removal of the tumor, a radiation therapy team and, if indicated, a bone marrow.
No alternative therapy has yet been reported to substitute for conventional neuroblastoma treatment. Complementary therapies--such as retinoic acid therapy--have been shown to be beneficial to patients when administered after a conventional.
Neuroblastoma-- Neuroblastoma is a tumor of the adrenal glands or sympathetic nervous system. Neuroblastomas can range from being relatively harmless to highly malignant.

neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that occurs in children, resulting in tumors in the nervous system. It is treated with chemotherapy, surgery, and a variety of medications. The result of all the extensive treatments can cost upwards of 100,000 dollars, with some patients racking up bills that total nearly 1,000,000 dollars.
