Surgery in Treating Patients With Neuroblastoma
Phase II Trial of Surgery as the Only Treatment for INSS Stage 2A & 2B Neuroblastoma

RATIONALE: Surgery may be an effective treatment for neuroblastoma.

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

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment alone for stage II neuroblastoma without N-myc amplification (NMA).
  • Describe predictive factors of relapse and survival for stages I and II neuroblastoma without NMA treated by surgery alone.

OUTLINE: Patients with localized resectable tumors undergo surgery. Postoperative evaluations are performed 30 days following surgery. Study patients with stage I (without N-myc amplification) tumors and trial patients with stage II tumors receive no further therapy.

Study patients (except stage I patients) receive surgery and/or chemotherapy according to other protocols as necessary for disease progression or relapse.

Patients are followed every 3 months for the first year, then every 4 and 6 months for the second and third year respectively, then yearly for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue 140 stage II patients for the trial portion at a rate of 40 per year over 3.5 years. At least 70 more patients will be accrued for the study portion.
