Advances in Neuroblastoma Research Events

ANR Conference Amsterdam 2021

Due to the COVID-19 situation the Advances in Neuroblastoma Research meeting has been moved to the new dates of 24-27 May 2021 (ANR2021). The venue remains Beurs van Berlage, and other facilities in the center of Amsterdam.

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, 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.

Donate today

Help us beat the number one toddler cancer. Currently, only 50% of those children diagnosed with aggressive neuroblastoma will survive five years after diagnosis – and a third of those children that do survive, will have long term side effects from their treatments. Please donate today to support world class Australian research into developing better, safer treatments.

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.
