Although intensive multimodal treatment has improved outcomes for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma, the specific role of primary tumor resection remains controversial. Many studies have been designed to determine whether the extent of surgical resection impacts survival; however, these reports have demonstrated conflicting results. There is also ongoing debate regarding the timing of primary tumor resection, with subtle differences in the approach between the large pediatric oncology cooperative consortia. Most of the published literature to date has been approached from a surgical viewpoint. Although most evidence supports surgery as part of the local control approach for high-risk neuroblastoma, recommendations for timing and extent of surgical resection are not consistent. This review summarizes our current understanding from the perspectives of both the pediatric oncologist and pediatric surgeons and discusses how the objectives of neuroblastoma primary surgical resection are different from that of other malignancies. Furthermore, this commentary will address how retrospective surgical outcome data may be interpreted in the setting of modern era high-risk neuroblastoma treatment.
