Five types of treatment are used for neuroblastoma:
Surgery is usually used to treat neuroblastoma by removing as much of
the tumor as is safety possible. If the tumor cannot be removed, a
biopsy may be done instead.
Biologic therapy uses the patient's immune system to fight cancer.
Substances made by the body or made in a laboratory are used to boost,
direct or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. This type
of treatment is also called biotherapy or immunotherapy.
Watchful waiting is closely monitoring a patient's condition without giving any treatment until symptoms appear or change.
