L'ESPLORAZIONE DEI LINFONODI REGIONALI NEL NEUROBLASTOMA LOCALIZZATO: Compliance alle Direttive Chirurgiche nello Studio Nazionale NB 85

Accurate staging of patients with Neuroblastoma is essential for prognosis and for determining the most appropriate treatment. The neoplastic involvement of regional lymph-nodes (l.n.) is an important prognostic feature; the surgical exploration of these L.n. is mandatory for localized neuroblastoma (NBL) (stage I and II) in wich surgery represent the main treatment. The Authors have carried out a retrospective analysis of the cases registered in Italy between 1985 and 1989
