Abstract

Neuroblastoma is one of the most common malignancies in children, accounting for about 8% of childhood cancers, ranking 4th after acute leukemia, brain tumors and lymphomas.


Samples: 2 patients with mediastinal tumor detected and diagnosed with neuroblastoma, without MYCN amplication being treated at Center of Children’s Cancer, National Children’s Hospital.


Methods: We used aCGH comparative genomic hybridization technique with 60K resolution.


Results: Two patients had detected genetic mutations of SCA and SCA combined with NCA.


Conclusion: Applying aCGH technique with resolution from 60K can detect genetic changes in neuroblastoma patients. This is the basis for more effective prognosis and treatment of neuroblastoma in the future.
