NEUROBLASTOMA

Neuroblastoma is tumor that form in immature cell, It can occur anywhere in body where these cell found but commonly begin in tissues of adrenal gland

It mainly affects infants and children but sometime it affects teen and adult too.

Boys are slightly more prone to neuroblastoma cancer than girls.

NEUROBLASTOMA CAUSE

Neuroblast are immature nerve cell that develop in fetus during their development process

When fetus mature these cell turn into nerve cell, fibers and to cell which, make adrenal gland

While birth most of cell become mature only few cell left immature and overtime the left immature one either, turn  mature or disappear but in some case  immature cell become cancerous and grow uncontrollably and form tumors called nuroblastoma

Exact cause what leads to mutation of DNA of immature cells is not known yet

Family history of this cancer is one of the factor which increase risk of development of neuroblastoma
