From 1984 to 1989, 47 children with relapsed, refractory, and/or metastasized neuroblastoma were treated with 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) in several different treatment combinations. At initial diagnosis, 36 children had Evans stage IV and 11 stage III disease. In 16 of the 47 children, tumo

Application of the tools of molecular genetics has vastly increased the power of genetic diagnosis, but also raises significant challenges in interpretation. Molecular tests can be used for diagnosis of an affected individual or determination of carrier status. Either direct mutation analysis or lin
Background. The early biological response has been proved an excellent predictor in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and nephroblastoma. We asked whether catecholamine metabolites, mIBG scan, and bone marrow evaluation might be relevant response markers in disseminated neuroblastoma. Procedure. Three hu
## Abstract Twentyβseven infants under one year of age with metastatic neuroblastoma were studied for osteomedullary metastases. They were evaluated by at least two imaging procedures: Xβray films and MIBG scan. Taking into account the results of these investigations, 3 groups were defined: osteome
The use of the cytobrush and other endocervical sampling instruments has resulted in an increasing rate of detection and attention to glandular abnormalities of the cervix. Lesions that have been identified as look-alikes to endocervical gland dysplasia or adenocarcinoma in situ include squamous car
