Specializes in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

See below. : Neuroblastoma is treated with chemo, surgery at least. Possibly radiation and additional chemo. The chemo is fairly intense. We typically give this treatment to young children. They handle it well. Older children and adults will have many more side effects. This should be discussed with your oncologist. Good luck.

Depends: A lot depends on the stage and pathology. One can expect biopsy, surgery, chemotherapy and possibly radiation depending upon response to therapy.
