Patients age > 12 months were classified as high risk and treated accordingly per CCG guidelines. On the basis of current COG guidelines, four of 12 patients diagnosed at 12 to 18 months of age with unfavorable tumor histology would be considered high risk.

Three patients were treated on ANBL0532.
