Study presents potential new treatment options for pediatric neuroblastoma patients
A nationwide study led by Dr. Jed Nuchtern, chief of the division of pediatric surgery at Texas Children's Hospital, a pediatric surgeon with Texas Children's Cancer Center and professor of surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, found that the majority of infants with a particular form of neuroblastoma - a childhood tumor that often requires intensive chemotherapy and surgery - excel in their overall progress and survival when the tumor is monitored without surgical resection.
