Abstract
Objective: Prognostic parameters in determining risk groups for treatment in neuroblastoma are cellular differentiation, mitosis karyorrhexis index (MKI), N-myc amplification and age. However, additional prognosticators are still needed because patients can show unpredictable biological behavior. We aimed to study the prognostic significance of apoptotic activity in neuroblastomas.
