Abstract:
Neuroblastoma is the only cancer of childhood considered in this conference on hormone-related tumors, because the percentage of deaths in children with this rare type of cancer is still very high. Pediatricians feel the need for help from basic researchers to better understand the biological nature of this disease and to improve protocols and the challenge of cure.
