Pretreatment with [131I] metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) followed by surgical resection in advanced neuroblastoma (stage 3 and 4) has been studied in relation to resectability morbidity and mortality survival rate after two gears, control of distant metastasis and serum levels of LDH as prognostic factors.Twenty-one patients with advanced neuroblastoma were primarily treated with MIBG radiotherapy followed by surgical resection.Sixteen patients had stage 4 disease. Between 2 and 6 courses of MIBG treatment were given per patient.In 17 patients gross complete resection was achieved. Two patients developed complications directly related to the operation, one died as a result of this. The overall mortality was 38%.MIBG therapy resulted in partial response in 13 patients and in stable disease in 8 patients.Two years survival in the group with partial response was 86% and in the group with stable disease 28%. Because of the resulting excellent general condition of the patients the interval between pretreatment with MIBG and surgery could be very short.Follow-up till December 1994 showed that 13 children were alive for 3 to 47 months. Seven had no evidence of disease.Preoperative MIBG de novo treatment in advanced neuroblastoma is equal to induction chemotherapy but less toxic.
