Treatment of newly diagnosed intermediate-risk neuroblastoma may include:

• Surgery alone for infants.
• Observation alone for infants.
• Radiation therapy to treat tumors that have continued to grow during treatment with chemotherapy or tumors that cannot be removed by surgery and have continued to grow after treatment with chemotherapy.
