Abstract

Neuroblastoma is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects young children, typically appearing in infants and young children under the age of five. This cancer arises from immature nerve cells called neuroblasts, which are found in various parts of the body, most commonly in the adrenal glands located above the kidneys, as well as in the nerve tissue along the spine, chest, abdomen, or pelvis. The exact cause of neuroblastoma is still unknown, but certain genetic mutations and abnormalities are believed to play a role in its development. While neuroblastoma can occur spontaneously, some cases may have a genetic predisposition or familial link
