Figure 3 – Overall Strategy of the COG Neuroblastoma Committee.

The mission of the COG Neuroblastoma Committee is to conduct practice-change research aimed to improve outcomes for children with neuroblastoma. The committee emphasizes translational research and the development and implementation of clinical trials while working to improve risk classification and new agent development. In addition, the committee emphasizes international collaboration to address key questions in the field as well as research that addresses the patient/family experience in the context of a neuroblastoma diagnosis. Research related to social determinants of health and survivorship are also being prioritized.
