Abstract

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid malignancy of childhood. The prognosis is highly variable ranging from spontaneous involution in infants to fatal outcome, despite aggressive treatment, in disseminated high-risk neuroblastoma. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the crucial role of imaging during the extensive treatment course.
