Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Yes, surgery is the only option for cure so I am sure that there was some missunderstanding with doctors. Sometimes chemo and radiotherapy may be chosen ut surgery is first option and should be done initially. The quicker a ganglioneuroblastoma is diagnosed, the quicker it can be treated and prevented from spreading. Treatment usually begins with surgical removal of the tumor. Chemotherapy and radiation are then used to prevent regrowth. If a tumor contains only benign cells, surgery is most likely the only treatment needed. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
