Overview

There is insufficient evidence to recommend the routine screening for neuroblastoma as it has no mortality benefits.

Screening

  • There is insufficient evidence to recommend the routine screening for neuroblastoma by measuring the vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid at 6 months or 1 year or age, as it does not have the mortality benefits.[1]
