Résumé

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the only pediatric tumor that is screened for nationwide by detecting the urinary levels of homovanillic acid and/or vanillylmandelic acid; however, whether NB screening reduces the mortality rate has not been established. This review compared the incidence and mortality rates among data from international mass screening for NB, as well as an analysis of differences in age of screening, detection methods, and diagnostic biomarkers. A well-designed trial exploring possible benefits and hazards is warranted prior to resuming mass screening for NB.
