[Radiotherapy of neuroblastomas. Results in 45 patients].
Treatment results from 45 patients with neuroblastoma are reported. The total survival rate is 29%. In localized stages the survival rate is nearly 100% in patients under one year old and about 50% in patients more than one year old. The survival rate amounts to 50% in stage IV-S, and there is zero survival in stage IV. Comparison with results reported in literature shows the same influences of age, histology and tumor stage on the prognosis. The own results and the reported ones demonstrate that in the majority of the neuroblastoma-patients curative radiotherapy has definite indications.
