Neuroblastoma almost always develops in infants and young children. It rarely occurs in children over 10 years of age. Neuroblastoma is a cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. It starts in the immature nerve cells (called neuroblasts or neural crest cells) that make up the sympathetic nervous system. Neuroblastoma can develop anywhere there is sympathetic nervous system tissue, but most commonly develops in the adrenal glands, neck, chest or spinal cord. (Canadian Cancer Society)
