Summary: | gene amplification is related to risk stratification. Therefore it is important to identify accurately the level of the
gene as early as possible in neuroblastoma (NB); however, for patients with bone marrow (BM) metastasis who need chemotherapy before surgery, timely detection of the
gene is not possible due to the unavailability of primary tumors.
gene status was evaluated in 81 BM metastases of NB by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of BM cells. The clinicobiological characteristics and prognostic impact of
amplification in NB metastatic to BM were analyzed.
amplification was found in 16% of patients with metastases, and the results were consistent with the primary tumors detected by pathological tissue FISH.
amplification was associated with age, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and prognosis (
