Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the MYCN gene, serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) levels, and neuroblastoma pathological features and prognosis. Ninety-four children with neuroblastoma treated in the hospital were selected to compare the differences in MYCN gene amplification, serum NSE, and urinary VMA levels in children with different clinicopathological features and prognoses. The proportion of children with MYCN gene copy number ≥10 in INSS stage 3-4 was higher than that of children with INSS stage 1-2 (P < 0.05); the proportion of children with MYCN gene copy number ≥10 in high-risk children in the COG risk stratification was higher than that of children with intermediate and low risk (P < 0.05); the serum NSE of children aged >12 months higher than that of children aged ≤12 months (P < 0.05); serum NSE of children with tumors >500 cm3 higher than that of children with tumors ≤500 cm3 (P < 0.05); serum NSE and urinary VMA of children with INSS staging of stages 3-4 were higher than that of children with stages 1 to 2 (P < 0.05); serum NSE and urinary VMA in children with lymph node metastasis were higher than that of children without lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05); serum NSE of children with MYCN gene copy number ≥10 was higher than that of children without lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05); the proportion of children with MYCN gene copy number ≥10 who died, and the percentages of serum NSE and urinary VMA were higher than those of the surviving children (P < 0.05). MYCN gene amplification and serum NSE and urinary VMA levels were related to the age, tumor size, INSS stage, COG stage, lymph node metastasis, and prognosis of the children with neuroblastoma.
