Abstract
Over recent years significant advances in histopathology and functional imaging techniques for the diagnosis and restaging of children with neuroblastoma have led to better quantification of disease and assessment of disease response, allowing for better treatment stratification. In this review we summarise recent changes to the International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria including the use of RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) guidance for measurable soft-tissue disease, replacement of technetium-99 m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scans with metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan or [F-18]2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scanning, and a new category of minimal residual bone marrow disease.
