چکیده
Since the initial description of the entity known as "in situ neuroblastoma," thoughts about the origin, fate, and clinical significance of this anatomic finding have influenced the field of neuroectodermal tumor biology. This paper discusses the importance of the original description of in situ neuroblastoma and how the entity fits into contemporary models of neuroblastoma heterogeneity.

Molecular Markers in Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma, one of the common malignant childhood tumors, arises from neuroblast cells derived from theneural crest and destined for the adrenal medulla and the sympathetic nervous system and shows remarkable biologicalheterogeneity, resulting in favorable or unfavorable outcomes. Some tumors make rapid progress with a fataloutcome. In other instances, the tumors regress spontaneously in inf...

متن کاملCD57high Neuroblastoma Cells Have Aggressive Attributes Ex Situ and an Undifferentiated Phenotype in Patients
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is thought to originate from neural crest-derived cells. CD57 defines migratory neural crest cells in normal development and is expressed in neuroblastoma. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We investigated the role of CD57 expression in neuroblastoma cells ex situ and in situ. Compared to CD57(low) U-NB1 neuroblastoma cells, CD57(high) cells developed tumors with dec...
