description

The complex genetic composition of neuroblastoma emphasizes the importance of conscientious and meticulous diagnosis. Clones with amplification or segmental chromosomal aberrations sometimes remain hidden. Several determinations should be performed when sufficient tumor material is available to establish the final diagnosis by combining the results of different techniques on tumor fragments or liquid biopsies.
