Context: Types of treatment for childhood esthesioneuroblastoma

Surgery to remove the tumor is one of the main treatments for esthesioneuroblastoma.

After the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, your child may be given chemotherapy or radiation therapy to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after surgery to lower the risk that the cancer will come back is called adjuvant therapy.
