小儿成神经细胞瘤国际上有各种各样的分类方法。最近,各研究机构报告了各自的治疗成绩,但因病期分类和评价方法等的不同,各研究机构间的成绩无法正确比较。因此,为在国际间统一这些标准,于1987年5月在费城召开会议,采纳各国的意见,最终提案发表于临床肿瘤杂志(J.Clin Oncol)上。 Pediatric neuroblastoma has a variety of international classification methods. Recently, various research institutions reported their own treatment results. However, due to differences in the classification of disease stages and evaluation methods, the results of various research institutions cannot be correctly compared. Therefore, in order to harmonize these standards internationally, a meeting was held in Philadelphia in May 1987, adopting the opinions of various countries. The final proposal was published in the journal J. Clin Oncol.
