[Diagnosis and radio-chemotherapy of the neuroblastoma in adults].
The neuroblastoma in the adult is a rare disease which has a bad prognosis. Until now, there are no generally accepted therapy conceptions. The clinical symptoms of the patient whose case is presented here were above all pains in the pelvic region. The histologic diagnosis was difficult and could be proved only by additional examinations of other metastases. Although the primary tumor was searched for intensively, is was only found 20 months later. Especially radiotherapy, but also chemotherapy (CYVADIC regimen) have proved to be effective. Above all, the quality of life could be largely maintained over a period of 26 months.
