The results of 19 children with neuroblastoma under one year of age treated at the Tata Memorial Hospital between 1981-1990 were analysed. Biologically, neuroblastomas in children under the age of 12 months have an entirely different prognosis as compared to older children. There were four children less than six months of age and 15 children between six and 12 months. All patients with stage II (2/2) disease are alive; 3/4 patients with stage IV-S disease are disease free; 3/5 stage III patients are disease free and 2/8 patients with stage IV disease are disease free. The survival of infants with stage II and IV-S is better than for those with stage III and IV disease.
