DFMO stops cancer cells from growing, and etoposide helps kill them. The study includes patients who are recovering after additional therapy, those who have had the disease return but are currently without symptoms, and those with active disease. DFMO has been evaluated as a follow-up treatment for severe neuroblastoma in previous studies.
