The search for effective treatment of neuroblastoma has stimulated an enormous increase in research, conducted in order to achieve a better understanding of the cellular and genetic basis of this unique class of tumor in children and adults. Providing a broad and comprehensive examination of recent advances in this field, this volume focuses on basic and clinically-related laboratory research, with a concentration on molecular genetics, cell biology, differentiation and innovative therapies.
The poor success rate of neurblastoma treatment has stimulated an increase in research conducted in order to achieve a better understanding of this childhood tumor. These proceedings of the fifth symposium held at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in 1990 present a variety of recently completed research papers, including work in molecular genetics and biology and the use of biological response modifiers in the clinical area.
