As we reflect on Neuroblastoma Awareness Day, we want to help families better understand this complex childhood cancer.
Is neuroblastoma benign or malignant?
It’s a question many parents ask when first hearing about this rare childhood cancer.
Neuroblastoma is considered malignant, which means it can grow and spread. But its behavior varies—some cases are more aggressive, others less so. What’s most important is that each child’s condition should be carefully evaluated by a medical team to determine the best course of care.
If you’ve noticed your child has a lump, unexplained fever, or ongoing fatigue, speak with your pediatrician. Early attention can make a meaningful difference.
At Sheba Medical Center, our pediatric teams are here to support families with expert care and heartfelt compassion every step of the way.
