Foreword
Sabine Sarnacki and Luca Pio have created a comprehensive text on neuroblastoma. This is a timely submission. The roster of authors are all international experts on the diagnosis and management of neuroblastoma. Drs. Sarnacki and Pio have compiled a text that provides information extending from the epidemiology of this disease to its imaging and, most importantly, the clinical management and surgery. This text will provide the reader a single source of the most current knowledge on all aspects of neuroblastoma. They are to be congratulated for this singular effort providing us a veritable wealth of information on neuroblastoma. I believe it will serve as an invaluable reference text for readers of all levels.
