โฆ Synopsis
Thirty white and 15 black children with neuroblastoma were compared with respect to survival. Patient age and tumor stage at diagnosis were similar in the two groups, as was duration of symptoms prior to diagnosis. There was no significant difference between the white and black children in regard to median duration of survival or percentage of long-term survivors. The results of this study indicate that race is not a factor in the prognosis of this tumor.
