ANR Amsterdam May 2020

ANR 2020

The next Advances in Neuroblastoma Research meeting (ANR2020) will be taking place in Amsterdam from May 11 till 15 2020.

This event will provide a key opportunity for research scientists, clinicians, early career fellows, nurses and other allied health care workers to be updated on the latest basic, translational and clinical research developments in the field of childhood neuroblastoma.

The organisers are aiming to have a parent symposium on Monday 11 of May 2020, providing an opportunity to hear from and talk to some expert doctors and specialists. There will also be opportunities for families to share their stories and experiences. There are no registration costs for parents attending the parent symposium.

Detection, diagnosis & staging

Most symptoms of neuroblastoma are caused by the growth of the cancer into nearby tissues or organs, or its spread to distant parts of the body such as bones or bone marrow.
What is neuroblastoma?

Neuroblastomas are cancers that start in early nerve cells (called neuroblasts) of the sympathetic nervous system. This means that tumours can be found anywhere along this system; most commonly (about 50%) start in the adrenal glands (above the kidney), or near the spine, chest, neck or pelvis.
