Laparoscopic surgery for neuroblastoma identified by mass screening

Most neuroblastomas identified by mass screening are clearly different from the clinically diagnosed tumors with respect to biology, epidemiology, and outcome. Because the neuroblastomas detected by mass screening have favorable biological features (97% survival rate at 5 years), aggressive surgery...

Zusammenfassung:Most neuroblastomas identified by mass screening are clearly different from the clinically diagnosed tumors with respect to biology, epidemiology, and outcome. Because the neuroblastomas detected by mass screening have favorable biological features (97% survival rate at 5 years), aggressive surgery may not be appropriate for such tumors. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed on a 9-month-old boy and two 8-month-old girls who had suitable lesions. The tumors were small (
