Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about neuroblastoma:

1. How can I tell if my child has neuroblastoma?
   
   
2. Is there anything in my family history that indicates a greater risk for neuroblastoma in my children?
   
   
3. What tests will be used to diagnose the condition in my child?
   
   
4. What stage is the neuroblastoma?
   
   
5. What are the treatment options for my child’s cancer?
   
   
6. What are the chances of a recurrence?
   
   
7. What is the prognosis for this cancer?
   
   
8. If one child has neuroblastoma, are my other children at risk?
   
   
9. Is there any genetic testing that I should receive before my next pregnancy?
   
   
10. What are the potential long-term side effects of chemotherapy or radiation?
    
    
11. Is my child at risk for other cancers?
