Neuroblastoma

Image Via Wikipedia
Neuroblastoma usually starts in or around the adrenal glands from the sympathetic nervous system where the "flight or flight" responses are produced. Immature nervous cells are called neuroblasts that can turn into Neuroblastoma. Common symptoms include sleepiness, loss of appetite, fever and joint pain. Doctors can use a urine test, body scan, and biopsy in determining if the patient has Neuroblastoma, and with treating the cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used.
