Abstract
Neuroblastoma is a common childhood cancer with poor prognosis. Neuroblastoma most commonly affects children age 5 or younger, though it may rarely occur in older children. To present our experience with neuroblastic tumours and their outcome in the patients treated at our centre. This is prospective study done at the Department of Paediatric Surgery at SMS Medical College, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India between May 2021 to April 2022 done on Infants and children with neuroblastic tumours treated in the Department of Paediatric Surgery at SMS Medical College, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India between May 2021 to April 2022. 12 patients were included with mean age of 61.87±47.56 months. Male predominance seen in the patients, majority patients were in stage 2. Post treatment, 1 patient presented with recurrence and a total of 2 patients died. Since significant number of patients still relapse and eventually die of the disease and hence it becomes vital for investigators to first better understand the origins of this disease and then develop novel treatment strategies for those who are diagnosed with it.
