title: [Prognostic value of the N-myc oncogene in neuroblastoma].
abstract: Activation of cellular proto-oncogenes can be detected in several human cancers. In neuroblastoma, amplification and overexpression of N-myc oncogene have been shown to be associated with advanced stages of disease and rapid tumor progression. These results suggest the clinical importance of the N-myc oncogene. Other oncogenes might also be activated in this cancer.
