摘要

Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma remain a therapeutic challenge with significant numbers of patients failing to respond sufficiently to initial therapy. These patients with poor response to induction are considered as ultra high-risk and are in need of novel treatment strategies. Isotretinoin is part of the standard of care treatment for patients with high-risk disease who undergo high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue although some have questioned the optimal administration schedule. Prolonged use of isotretinoin was well tolerated and may have contributed to long-term survival in a group of patients with ultra high-risk neuroblastoma.
