Concentration of surgery improves operations for childhood cancer

Neuroblastoma is a tumour of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs mainly in young children. Every year, 25 children in the Netherlands receive this diagnosis. Surgery to remove the tumour tissue forms an important part of the treatment plan. Since November 2014, care for children in the Netherlands with a solid tumour, including neuroblastoma, has been concentrated in one national research hospital, the Princess Maxima Center for pediatric oncology in Utrecht.
