normetanephrine and Neuroblastoma

normetanephrine has been researched along with Neuroblastoma in 28 studies

Normetanephrine: A methylated metabolite of norepinephrine that is excreted in the urine and found in certain tissues. It is a marker for tumors.

Neuroblastoma: A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2099-2101; Curr Opin Oncol 1998 Jan;10(1):43-51)

"Plasma concentrations of 3-methoxytyramine, normetanephrine, and metanephrine were measured in two pediatric cohorts: (i) 96 children with confirmed neuroblastoma and (ii) 41 children with signs and symptoms of a catecholamine-producing tumor or other neoplasms and in whom neuroblastoma was excluded."7.96Biochemical testing for neuroblastoma using plasma free 3-O-methyldopa, 3-methoxytyramine, and normetanephrine.

"combined determination of normetanephrine with vanillylmandelic acid (0-1 year) or homovanillic acid (1-5 years and 5-10 years) further enhanced the diagnostic power up to 100% sensitivity and specificity of the testing depending on the age group."3.72Comparative values of catecholamines and metabolites for the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.
