Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC). The revisions included redefinition of the
midline, restrictions on age and bone marrow involvement for stage 4S, and the recommendation
that meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scanning be implemented for evaluating the extent
of disease. The biologic features that were deemed important to evaluate included
serum ferritin, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH); tumor
histology; tumor-cell DNA content; assessment of N-Myc copy number; assessment of
chromosome 1p deletion by cytogenetic or molecular methods; and high affinity nerve
growth factor receptor (Trk-A) expression.;
