Abstract
The local control of neuroblastoma is a very important treatment consideration. We
describe a patient who received high-dose rate 60Co remote after loading system treatment
for local control of recurrent neuroblastoma and discuss the efficacy of high-dose
rate 60Co remote after loading system treatment.
