TRKB

A

bad prognosis for neuroblastoma

36
Q

older than 18 months

A

bad prognosis for neuroblastoma

37
Q

N-MYC amplification

A

bad prognosis for neuroblastoma

trumps out all other good prognostic factors

38
Q

near-diplid

A

bad prognosis for neuroblastoma

39
Q

stage 3, 4

A

bad prognosis for neuroblastoma

40
Q

catecholamine release

A

from neuroblastoma

-but does not cause increased blood pressure

41
Q

pheochromocytoma

A

releases catecholamines

-but DOES cause increased blood pressure and HTN

42
Q

neuropil

A

neuritic processes

-in neuroblastomas

43
Q

homer-wright pseudorosettes

A

seen in neuroblastoma

-tumor cells around central space of neuropil

44
Q

presence of schwannian stroma

A

maturation of neuroblasts to ganglion cells

prerequisite for designation of ganglioneuroblastoma or gaglioneuroma

good prognosis

45
Q
