How to check and confirm neurogenic tumors?

Patient's question:

Female, 3 years and 5 months. After a long-distance trip home during the Spring Festival, she has been crying at night. On March 13th, she was found to have ptosis of the upper eyelid of the left eye and visited the ophthalmology department, but no problems were found.

Doctor's answer:

The only way to confirm the diagnosis is through bone marrow aspiration or biopsy pathology. Pathological diagnosis is the most definitive diagnosis. 24-hour urine VMA and blood NSE can help with the diagnosis. The prognosis for mediastinal neuroblastoma is relatively good! Most tumors can be surgically resected. At our Shanghai Children's Medical Center, we have the best hematology-oncology and tumor surgery departments in the country. We diagnose and treat over 60 cases of neuroblastoma annually, while its incidence rate is only 1 in 100,000.
