Patient's question:
Constantly experiencing dizziness and nausea, I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. I would like to ask, what are the cell morphology of neuroblastoma?Doctor's answer:
Neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is also called neurocytoma, which is a cancer that recurs in nerve branches. Since nerve endings extend to many parts of the body, this type of tumor can recur in many parts of the body. Approximately 65% originate in the abdomen, 15% to 20% in the chest, and the remaining 15% in other parts such as the neck, pelvis, etc. Neuroblastoma is a highly malignant tumor, often multiple, and can damage surrounding tissues early. This stage mainly relies on what is known as combined therapy, which includes chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy to achieve a cure. Even for this stage's high-risk cases, some patients may first develop metastatic symptoms such as subcutaneous nodules or liver enlargement due to liver metastasis.
