Abstract:
The latest advances in treatment for patients with neuroblastoma are constantly being incorporated into clinical trials and clinical practice standards, resulting in incremental improvements in the survival of patients over time. Survivors of high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNBL), however, continue to develop treatment-related late effects. Additionally, for the majority of the nearly 50% of patients with HRNBL who experience relapse, no curative therapy currently exists. As technologies in diagnostic and molecular profiling techniques rapidly advance, so does the discovery of potential treatment targets. Here, we discuss the current clinical landscape of therapies for neuroblastoma in the era of precision medicine.
