NCCS

The Neuroblastoma Children's Cancer Society is a group of volunteers who raise money for research so that a cure can be found.

Cathecholamines are a type of hormones/neurotransmitter that are produced in high quantities by neuroblastoma tumors found in the adrenal glands, providing a marker for presence of the illness. #Neuroblastoma #curekids #NCCS #ChildhoodCancer

Neuroblastomas develop when normal fetal neuroblasts fail to become mature nerve cells or adrenal medulla cells. Instead, they continue to grow and divide. #NCCS #neuroblastoma #ChildhoodCancer #curekids #morethan4

Survival stories are our favorite. Cancer survivors - share some hope in the comments.

A potential new treatment for neuroblastoma is detailed in this article !!

Most children with neuroblastoma develop the disease before they turn five years old. Many are between one-and-a-half and two years old. In some children the disease starts before birth. #Neuroblastoma #NCCS #ChildhoodCancer #curekids

During this holiday season, please consider donating to pediatric cancer research. Research will help us defeat this horrible disease! #NCCS #neuroblastoma #cancerstinks #curecancer

75 percent of children who survive childhood cancer face long-term health problems and handicaps from treatment. #nccs #curekids #cancerstinks

Want to make an impact in the lives of families faced with cancer? Donate to research! Research is underfunded! You can make a difference!

This article discusses a key factor in the development of neuroblastoma. #NCCS #neuroblastoma #kick anger

Research for childhood cancer is extremely underfunded. It receives only 4% of the National Cancer Institute's Budget. #morethan4 #NCCS #fundresearch

[NCCS @Fight2CureKids]

One of the ways we will make a difference for kids with cancer is to talk about it. Childhood cancer affects so many. Help us spread the word about it. Help give our kids a voice. #Neuroblastoma #NCCS #cancerstinks

Here is another very interesting article regarding neuroblastoma. #NCCS #Neuroblastoma #CancerStinks

As Childhood Cancer Awareness Month winds down, please be sure to donate so that we can end this horrible disease! #NCCS #gogold #Neuroblastoma #kickcancer

This article discusses low-level and high-level neuroblastoma have different cell identities, which could lead to more targeted therapies. #NCCS #Neuroblastoma #curekids

Go Gold for Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month! Let's work together to end this horrible disease! #NCCS #Neuroblastoma #cancerstinks #GoGold

[NCCS @Fight2CureKids]

September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. This serves as a reminder for us to recognize the children and families affected by pediatric cancer and to highlight the importance of funding research on this awful disease. #NCCS #Neuroblastoma #cancerstinks

[NCCS @Fight2CureKids]

Hopefully these scientific discoveries continue to occur! #neuroblastoma #NCCS #cancerstinks #curekids

Here is an interesting article about the cellular origin of neuroblastoma. #NCCS #Neuroblastoma #cancerstinks

https://t.co/33rNIhfybo

[NCCS @Fight2CureKids]

Neuroblastoma is caused by a genetic mutation in an immature nerve cell, called a neuroblast. The cause of most of these mutations are unknown, but some are inherited. #NCCS #Neuroblastoma #cancerstinks

Did you know that neuroblastoma accounts for 50 percent of all cancers in infants? This makes it the most common tumor in infants younger than 1 year. #NCCS #neuroblastoma #kickcancer
