Abstract
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. The survival rates of patients with neuroblastoma, especially those in the high-risk category, are still low despite varied therapies. The detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma is essential to develop better therapeutics and improve the poor survival rates. This study provides a multi-omic analysis of neuroblastoma datasets from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) neuroblastoma project and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data portals to better understand the molecular mechanisms of neuroblastoma.
