Moreover, the tumor markers homovanillic acid and vanillylmandelic acid can be used to assess the progress of therapy. The plasma levels of homovanillic and vanillylmandelic acids were determined in 84 children with neuroblastoma prior to treatment to evaluate the usefulness of these parameters for the diagnosis of this disease.

Neuroblastoma is a pediatric neuroblastic tumor arising in the sympathetic nervous crest cells. Tumor cytogenetics did not reveal any high-risk features. The aim of this study is to review the results of HVA/Cr and VMA/Cr obtained by the reference laboratory of the Italian Cooperative Group for NB ⦠A positive test could be due to a genetic or nongenetic condition. Biphasic effects of selegiline on striatal dopamine: lack of effect on methamphetamine-induced dopamine depletion. Subsequent studies of healthy adult volunteers showed that significant elevations in plasma HVA are a consequence of quercetin ingestion. BACKGROUND Urinary homovanillic and vanillylmandelic acid (HVA and VMA) are well known biomarkers for the management of neuroblastoma (NB). If specimen is refrigerated during collection, preservative may be added up to 12 hours after collection. If pathologic examination is unequivocal for neuroblastoma, or tumor cells are detected in bone marrow, and there are elevated urinary vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid levels, then a diagnosis can be made ( 32 ). Urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), homovanillic acid (HVA), or both are elevated in ⥠90% of patients. Homovanillic acid (HVA) and other catecholamine metabolites (vanillylmandelic acid [VMA] and dopamine) are typically elevated in patients with catecholamine-secreting tumors (eg, neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, and other neural crest tumors). Homovanillic acid (HVA) and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) concentrations are elevated in more than 90% of patients with neuroblastoma; both tests should be performed. A positive test could be due to a genetic or nongenetic condition. HVA presence supports a diagnosis of neuroblastoma and malignant pheochromocytoma (Wikipedia). Experimental . Follow-up diagnostics include radiological procedures to track a reduction in size and to determine if the patient responds to the treatment. Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) are clinical biomarkers for diagnosis of neuroblastoma (NB), which commonly occurs in the childhood.
