Clinical and epidemiological characteristics and survival outcomes of children with neuroblastoma: 21 years of experience at the instituto de oncologia pediÁtrica, in sÃo paulo, brazil

Conclusions: The clinical features of children with neuroblastoma are variable and mostly nonspecific, which makes clinical recognition difficult and, in general, too late. In children less than 5 years old, with an abdominal mass and/or bone pain, irritability, and a fev er from an unknown cause, neuroblastoma should be considered as a possible diagnosis.
