Phases of neuroblastoma

Likewise with most malignancies, neuroblastoma is given a phase. This shows on the off chance that it has spread and, provided that this is true, how far.

The organizing framework utilized for neuroblastoma is:

organize L1 – the growth is simply in one place and hasn't spread, and can be evacuated by medical procedure

organize L2 – the growth is in one place and hasn't spread, however can't be evacuated securely by medical procedure
