What is the life expectancy for children with neuroblastoma?

Answer 1

The life expectancy for children with neuroblastoma varies significantly depending on several factors, including the age of diagnosis, stage of the disease, and response to treatment. Generally, the overall survival rate for neuroblastoma can range from about 40% to over 90% for lower-risk cases. However, high-risk neuroblastoma has a much lower survival rate, often around 30% to 50%. Advances in treatment continue to improve outcomes for many children diagnosed with this condition.
