Abstract

Background: Neuroblastoma is the third most common malignancy of chidhood, and is the most common mediastinal mass in children under the age of 2 years. However, the results of surgical treatment have been seldomly reported in Korea. Therefore, we analyzed the results of surgical treatment in children with neuroblastoma and its influencing factors. Material and Method: We studied the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 12 children, 11 makes and 1 female, whose primary thoracic neurobalstomas or ganglioneuroblastomas were diagnosed and operated between 1977 and 1997. Men age at presentation was 29.9 months. Result: Respiratory symptoms were the modes of performed in 9 patients. Complete excision, partial excision, and biopsy only were performed in 9, 2, and 1 patients respectively. Ten patients of thoractic neuroblastomas survived (83.3%) during follow-up period. Conclusion: The postoperatve 5-year survival of thoracic neuroblastoma was 76.4% and the prognosis was related to the stage of neuroblastoma. We suggest that complete resection should be considered as preferential method in the treatment of thoracic neuroblastoma in children, especially with early stage.
