What type of cancer is this?

My nephew has cancer. He is 5. In a very bad condition. Anyways, we were told today that he has something called… Neuroblastoma… What is this the cancer of? They removed a tumor the size of my fist from behind his kidney… If someone could help me, that would be great. Thanks

Answer #1

Nueroblastoma is a type of cancer which usually develops in infants (rarely in kids above the age of 10). Its a very common type of cancer that kids develop, its still cancer though and that can pose a threat to the child’s well being. This type of cancer effects early nerves cells of sympathetic nervous system. I’m very sorry that this is happening to your cousin.

Answer #2

Its a cancer that affects the nervous system. Try going to cancer.org. They may have some information on it.
