Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Observation is closely monitoring a patient's condition and not giving treatment until symptoms appear or change. Observation may help doctors see how effective surgery is in treating neuroblastoma.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well surgery alone works in treating young patients with localized neuroblastoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment alone in young patients with stage 2 neuroblastoma without N-myc amplification (NMA).

Secondary

* Determine predictive factors of relapse and survival of patients with stage 1, 2A, or 2B neuroblastoma without NMA who have undergone surgery only.

OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized, multicenter study.

Patients with stage 1 or 2 disease and no N-myc amplification (NMA) undergo observation comprising clinical evaluation, ultrasound or CT scan of the abdomen, and chest x-ray periodically for up to 5 years. All other patients undergo additional therapy and follow-up according to national standards. Patients who develop recurrent disease or disease progression may undergo surgical resection, preceded or followed by chemotherapy, according to national standards.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 140 patients will be accrued for this study.
