Patient's question:
The child has been running a high fever and sweating excessively, with a lump on their abdomen. The doctor said it's neuroblastoma. I'd like to know how much it might cost to treat neuroblastoma.Doctor's answer:
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial tumor in children and infants. Nearly half of neuroblastomas recur in infants and children under the age of two. Neuroblastoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that can originate from any part of the sympathetic nervous system along the spinal cord. The most common location is the adrenal gland, but it can also occur in the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvic nerve tissue. Some known human tumors naturally regress from malignant, non-dividing malignancies to completely benign tumors. Neuroblastoma is one of them. It is recommended to seek diagnosis and treatment at regular hospitals, as the costs of examination and treatment vary from hospital to hospital. These should be helpful to you.
