Welcome to the Neuroblastoma Society Website
Neuroblastoma is a rare and aggressive childhood cancer.
About a hundred children in the UK are diagnosed each year.
The Society works exclusively for these children in raising funds for British research into the disease, and offering information and support for anyone affected by neuroblastoma.

- Information about neuroblastoma - see FAQ or download the Society's Booklet for Parents

- What the Neuroblastoma Society does in search of a cure - find out about current research
