Neuroblastoma: Radiotherapy

Radiation therapy (radiatio) is given to people with an advanced tumor after previous surgery and chemotherapy when residual tumor is still detectable.

MIBG therapy: this therapy uses radioactively labeled meta-iodine benzylguanidine (MIBG). The administration of this substance allows for internal radiation therapy that selectively targets tumor cells. This form of therapy can also be used if tumor remnants are still detectable after chemotherapy.
