Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The mass screening of neuroblastoma has been undertaken in Japan by measuring urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in all infants at the age of 6 months."3.68Different genomic and metabolic patterns between mass screening-positive and mass screening-negative later-presenting neuroblastomas. ( Akiyama, H; Ikeda, K; Kawakami, K; Nagahara, N; Nakagawara, A; Ohgami, H; Sera, Y; Suita, S; Uchino, J; Zaizen, Y, 1991)
"Twenty-two reported cases of neuroblastoma missed by the mass screening programs were reviewed (six cases in Sapporo City where a quantitative measurement for both vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) is used and 16 cases in the districts of qualitative judgment only for VMA), and some potential factors for missing a patient were discussed."3.67Cases of neuroblastoma missed by the mass screening programs. ( Hanai, J; Kawai, T; Miyake, H; Nishi, M; Sato, Y; Takasugi, N; Takeda, T, 1989)
"No recurrence was observed after disappearance of tumors, and persistent tumors showed no malignant transformation or metastasis."1.40Long-term follow-up results of the observation program for neuroblastoma detected at 6-month mass screening. ( Aihara, T; Arakawa, A; Hanada, R; Kikuchi, A; Kishimoto, H; Koh, K; Oguma, E, 2014)
"Final histology showed a differentiated ganglioneuroma."1.33Ganglioneuroma : primary tumor or maturation of a suspected neuroblastoma? ( Ertel, W; Heyde, CE; Perez-Canto, A; Przkora, R, 2006)
"Neuroblastomas are malignant tumors derived embryonically from the neural crest."1.29Urinary excretion of methylated catecholamine metabolites in a child with neuroblastoma maturing into ganglioneuroma. ( Bekri, S; Candito, M; Chambon, P; Deville, A; Soler, C; Thyss, A, 1996)
"With rare exception, ganglioneuroma (GN) is a benign lesion which presents as a localized mass without metastatic potential and which is chemotherapy resistant."1.29Catecholamine metabolites in ganglioneuroma. ( Blatt, J; Gula, MJ; Knisely, AS; Lucas, K; Virgi, MA; Wollman, M, 1994)
"We report on a case of secretory ganglioneuroma, as demonstrated by the increased urinary excretion of the catecholamine metabolites HVA and VMA, increased plasma dopamine and epinephrine levels, and positive 131-I-MIBG scintigraphy."1.28Functionally active ganglioneuroma with increased plasma and urinary catecholamines and positive iodine 131-meta-iodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy. ( Castello, MA; Ciofetta, G; Clerico, A; Codini, M; Jenkner, A; Lucarelli, C, 1991)
