Image‐defined risk factors in unresectable neuroblastoma: SIOPEN study on incidence, chemotherapy‐induced variation, and impact on surgical outcomes

To evaluate the impact of image‐defined risk factor (IDRF) modification after chemotherapy on surgical outcomes, event‐free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS) among patients enrolled in the European Unresectable Neuroblastoma (EUNB) study.
