About Neuroblastoma and the Mission of this Site

Neuroblastoma is one of the most common solid tumours of early childhood usually found in babies or young children. The disease originates in the adrenal medulla or other sites of sympathetic nervous tissue. The most common site is the abdomen (near the adrenal gland) but can also be found in the chest, neck, pelvis, or other sites. Most patients have widespread disease at diagnosis.
The ultimate objective of this page is to bring parents, families, and phisicians together so that the hope for cure can be always closer. Also, this page contains links to information specifically related to Neuroblastoma and other relevant resources from institutes and societies that are among the many important Neuroblastoma centers out there.

If you need to contact us, your welcome and/or comment is welcome in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French. Other languages will also be answered with a little delay.

Thank you for creating this site. My 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma last year.
