Background and Methods. The nerve growth factor receptor is expressed in some neuroblastomas, in which its primary component is encoded by the TRK proto-oncogene. To determine the relation of the expression of TRK messenger RNA in neuroblastomas to other clinical and laboratory variables, we studied frozen tumor samples from 77 patients. In addition, we tested two primary neuroblastomas that expressed TRK for responsiveness to nerve growth factor.Results. TRK expression strongly correlated with favorable tumor stage (I, II, and IVS vs. III and IV), younger age (
