Abstract excerpt
Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumour of the sympathetic nervous system with marked heterogeneity in terms of histological maturity and clinical course. A previous study revealed that high tumour levels of the csrc protein, particularly its neuronal isoform (pp60csrcN), correlated with favourable outcome. To test whether this feature reflects a higher degree of neuronal maturation in these tumours, an extended...
