Two cases of neuroblastoma are described in patients who were both more than 25 years old when their symptoms first appeared. The behaviour of this tumour appears less aggressive in adults than in children, but the cases presented illustrate its resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and surgery is suggested as the first line of treatment in adults, even if the growth cannot be removed completely.
本文描述了两例神经母细胞瘤患者,他们首次出现症状时均超过25岁。该肿瘤在成人中的行为似乎不如在儿童中那样具有侵袭性,但所呈现的病例表明其对化疗和放疗具有抗性,因此建议将手术作为成人的一线治疗方法,即使肿瘤无法完全切除。
