Neuroblastoma treatment in Guadalajara

Neuroblastoma is a tumor that originates in immature nerve cells and occurs mainly in infants and young children. It can appear in different parts of the body, most often near the adrenal glands or along the spine.

Signs that may appear: a lump in the abdomen, neck, or chest, swelling, pain, fatigue, fever, or changes in appetite, depending on the affected area.

When should you see a doctor? Any lump that does not go away or persistent symptoms in a child deserve a medical checkup.

Which specialist treats it? The oncologist and, in a more specialized way, the pediatric oncologist are the ones who diagnose and follow up on this tumor in childhood. Early care from a specialized team is essential when neuroblastoma is suspected.
