Abstract So far treatment of advanced neuroblastoma is still difficult, due to its high malignancy. Currently comprehensive therapies, including high-dose multi-drug chemotherapy, surgery, stem cell transplantation, radiation, biological therapy and immune therapy as well as target therapy dominant the treatment of this disease, and we hereby introduce the latest development of treatment protocols for this disease.
