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.

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 beter, safer treatments.
Zach's Story

Paolo and Diana Carniel had never heard of neuroblastoma before August 2018 when their son Zach, just five years old at the time, was first diagnosed.
