The Association of Clinical Characteristics and Tumour Markers With Image-Defined Risk Factors in the Management of Neuroblastoma in South Africa

Image-defined risk factors (IDRFs) in neuroblastoma predict surgical complications and management outcomes. As there is a lack of data regarding the association of IDRFs with clinical and pathological factors, this study evaluated the prognostic value of IDRFs to predict neuroblastoma survival outcomes.This was a retrospective study including 345 patients and reviewed diagnostic imaging for 20 IDRFs, pleural effusions and ascites. The IDRFs were...
