Correlations Between Preoperative Radiographic Vascular Involvement of Abdominal/Pelvic Neuroblastomas on Computed Tomography and Intraoperative Vascular Injuries: Experience From a Tertiary Children's Hospital

Impact of pre-treatment extracellular volume fraction measured by computed tomography on response of primary lesion to preoperative chemotherapy in abdominal neuroblastoma

“…Upfront surgery is hard to carry out on the primary lesion of neuroblastoma in the late stages due to its tendency to encase adjacent vascular structures. 1 , 2 As a component of the preoperative treatment plan, chemotherapy can effectively reduce both the size of the tumor and its overall burden. A previous study demonstrated a correlation between the image-defined risk factors and the response of neuroblastoma to preoperative chemotherapy.…”
