-The [[etiology]] of neuroblastoma is not well understood. Several risk factors have been proposed and are the subject of ongoing research.
+There are no established risk factors for neuroblastoma.
-Due to characteristic early onset many studies have focussed on parental factors around [[fertilisation|conception]] and during [[gestation]]. Factors investigated have included occupation (i.e. exposure to chemicals in specific industries), smoking, alcohol consumption, use of medicinal drugs during pregnancy and birth factors, however results have been inconsistent.<ref>Olshan, AF, Bunin, GR (2000) Epidemiology of Neuroblastoma.
