An epidemiological study of neuroblastoma in the Auvergne area of France (departments: Puy-de-Dôme, Allier, Cantal, Haute-Loire) was carried out over a 6 years period (1986-1991). Nineteen cases of neuroblastoma were registered during this period. The annual incidence rate is 1.2 among 100,000 children under the age of 15 years. Similar incidence rates from other studies have been reported in the literature. In the department of Rhône, France, a screening program for neuroblastoma was initiated in 1990. The Auvergne area may constitute a population-based control group.
在法国奥弗涅地区(省份包括:多姆山省、阿列省、康塔尔省、上卢瓦尔省)开展了一项为期6年(1986 - 1991年)的神经母细胞瘤流行病学研究。在此期间登记了19例神经母细胞瘤病例。15岁以下儿童的年发病率为十万分之1.2。文献中报道的其他研究也有类似的发病率。1990年,法国罗纳省启动了一项神经母细胞瘤筛查项目。奥弗涅地区可构成一个基于人群的对照组。
