What is neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma is a rare type of cancer that most commonly affects babies and young children, like Bradley Lowery. It develops from specialised nerve cells called neuroblasts, which are left behind from a baby's development in the womb. These cells can form tumours in various parts of the body.
