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.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Share our hope for a cure for ALL types of neuroblastoma during September. More children under five die from neuroblastoma than from any other childhood cancer.
Two research grants awarded

Today we announced funding grants to two ground breaking research projects which we hope will take us a step close to finding a cure for the rare and deadly children’s cancer neuroblastoma.
