Neuroblastoma detected in screening programs frequently undergoes spontaneous regression during its natural course. Kitanaka et al. (p. 358) examined the mechanisms of spontaneous regression of neuroblastoma, focusing on the role of Ras as a favorable prognostic marker. They studied tumors from patients detected through a mass-screening program and from clinically detected, advanced-stage patients older than 1 year of age.
