Abstract:
:Multiple copies of N-myc proto-oncogene are only rarely detected in localized neuroblastomas (NBs), and the prognostic relevance of amplification in this subset of patients is not clear. We analyzed a series of 850 children with NB admitted to a Pediatric Oncology Group NB Biology Study and identified six patients with localized NBs harboring N-myc gene amplification. Three patients whose tumors showed favorable histology by Shimada classification and low-risk histological features according to the Joshi classification have remained disease-free, whereas two of three patients with unfavorable histology tumors have developed recurrent disease. Although earlier studies have indicated that N-myc amplification is associated with diploid DNA content, flow cytometric analysis revealed that only two of the localized tumors contained stem lines with diploid DNA content. Loss of chromosome 1p was not detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization in the two tumors examined. N-myc protein was detected by immunohistochemical studies in four of the five NBs analyzed. However, N-myc protein was not visualized in one of the tumors with stroma-rich histology, and Western blot analysis revealed only low levels of N-myc protein expression in another NB with favorable histology. These studies indicate that the presence of N-myc amplification in localized NBs does not necessarily portend an adverse outcome. Furthermore, the biological features of this subset of N-myc-amplified NBs appear to differ from those of more advanced N-myc-amplified tumors.
