Endocrinologic aspects and problems in neuroblastoma. Pediatric surgical considerations.
In addition to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, surgery still has a place in the treatment of neuroblastoma, even though this place is no longer a central one. As has been obvious for some time, the treatment of malignancies is no longer the task of one physician. The teamwork of the chemotherapist, radiotherapist and surgeon has produced unforeseen successes, far superior to those obtained by any single modality. The immunologists are also at work in the laboratory; we surmise that they will provide us with additional surprises sooner or later.
