Title: Localization of m-lodo(/sup 131/I)benzylguanidine in neuroblastoma

Journal Article · · AJR, Am. J. Roentgenol.; (United States)

Patient survival and the therapeutic strategy for treatment of neuroblastoma are highly dependent on the stage of the tumor at presentation. For routine staging, the Children's Cancer Study group currently recommends a chest radiograph, abdominal CT scan, radionuclide bone scan, bone marrow biopsy, catecholamine metabolite estimations, and surgical determination of tumor extent. A noninvasive method for detectiton of neuroblastoma that avoids surgery and bone marrow biopsy would be a most welcome addition to the armamentarium of the pediatric oncologist. A case of neuroblastoma demonstrated with m-iodo(/sup 131/I)benzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy is reported.
