At the Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children鈥檚 Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, part of Hassenfeld Children鈥檚 Hospital at 秘密研究所 Langone, a team of specialists collaborates to provide your child with the best care for neuroblastoma.

The sympathetic nervous system includes organs and structures such as the intestines, smooth muscle, heart, and glands.
Neuroblastoma mainly affects children under age five, but may occur at any age during childhood or adolescence. Our oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses, psychologists, rehabilitation specialists, and wellness experts provide support to your child and your family throughout treatment.
