Support to the Global Neuroblastoma Network


 

Neuroblastoma (NB) is at the top of the list of causes of death for childhood malignancies. This is due to the intrinsic resistance of NB to treatment but also to its relative rarity and the consequent difficulties of conducting adequate clinical and biological studies. More than 80% of NB cases diagnosed in low/middle income countries are not offered curative treatment or palliative therapy. This project, supported financially by the Umberto Veronesi Foundation (Milan, Italy), with a grant of €122,000 over two years (2011-2012), has the objective of developing an international database for patients with NB in low/middle income countries. This initiative builds on an international cooperation project headed by the St. Jude Children’s Research Center, Memphis-USA: The Pediatric Oncology Network Database (POND) (www.ponds4kids.org).

  1. This is a message to the webmaster. I came to your “https://thalawarecamp.wordpress.com/2012/07/16/support-to-the-global-neuroblastoma-network/” page via Google but it was difficult to find as you were not on the first page of search results. This means you are missing out on a ton of web traffic from the search engines. I have found a website which offers to dramatically increase your rankings and traffic to your website: http://venueseo.com/7-day-free-trial. I managed to get close to 1000 visitors/day using their services, you could also get lot more targeted traffic from search engines than you have now. Hope this helps 🙂 Take care.
