Research on Neuroblastoma

Research on neuroblastoma focuses on understanding how this childhood cancer develops and finding better ways to treat it. Scientists study the genetic and molecular factors that cause abnormal nerve cell growth, aiming to identify markers for early detection and targeted therapies. Advances include exploring immunotherapy, which uses the body's immune system to fight the cancer, and personalized medicine tailored to each patient's genetic profile. Ongoing research strives to improve survival rates, reduce side effects, and develop less invasive treatments, offering hope for more effective management and potential cures for children affected by neuroblastoma.
