The International Neuroblastoma Staging System and Pathology Classification were proposed in 1988 and in 1999, respectively, but their clinical value has not yet been fully studied in new patients. Six hundred and forty-four patients with neuroblastoma treated between January 1995 and December 1999 were analysed by these classifications. The 4-year overall survival rate of patients < 12 months of age with INSS stages 1, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4S disease was 98.5%, which was significantly higher than the 73.1% rate in stage 4 patients < 12 months (P < 0.0001). When patients were greater than or equal to 12 months, the 4-year overall survival rate of patients with neuroblastoma at 1, 2A, 2B and 3 stages was 100% and that of patients at stage 4 was 48.5% (P < 0.0001). As to the International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification histology, the 4-year overall survival rate was 98.8% in patients with favourable histology and 60.7% in those with unfavourable histology in the < 12 months group (P < 0.0001). In the greater than or equal to 12 months group, the 4-year oral survival of patients with favourable histology was 95.3% and that of patients with unfavourable histology was 50.6% (P < 0.0001). Among biological factors, MYCN amplification, DNA diploidy and 1p deletions were significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients < 12 months, as were MYCN amplification and DNA diploidy in patients ≥ 12 months of age. Multivariate analysis showed that the INSS stage (stage 4 vs other stages) and International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification histology (unfavourable vs favourable) were significantly and independently associated with the survival of patients undergoing treatment, stratified by age, stage and MYCN amplification (P=0.0002 and P=0.0051, respectively). © 2002 Cancer Research UK.
