Since Oct 1985, 112, 965 infants, aged 6~8 months, have been screened for elevation of urinary VMA level using urine spotted-filterpaper. During the five years nine children (1/12, 552) were found to have neuroblastomas with varying stages II(4 cases), III(1), and IV(4). They were operated on, and had subsequent chemotherapy combined with or without radiation. All the patients are alive and well with no relapses. Other than the 9 patients, 8 children, aged 6 months to 2 years, developed neuroblastomas during the five years. Urinary VMA excretions were elevated in 3 of them, but normal in 3, and remaining two patients had not received the mass-screening test. These results demonstrate that the screening programe for neuroblastomas in Niigata prefecture was successful and useful for the early detection and treatment of neuroblastomas.}, pages = {783--788}, title = {新潟県における5年間の神経芽細胞腫マススクリーニング成績}, volume = {104}, year = {1990} }
