Birth and parental characteristics and risk of neuroblastoma in a population-based Norwegian cohort study

Abstract

In this population-based Norwegian cohort study (2.1 million children), the impact of birth and parental characteristics on the risk of neuroblastoma (178 cases) was evaluated. In children below the age of 18 months, there was an increased neuroblastoma risk among those with congenital malformations and suggestion of increased risk when the mother had pre-eclampsia. © 2008 Cancer Research UK.
