What are the Treatment Options Based on INSS Stages?

The treatment options vary based on the INSS stage:
- Stage 1 and 2A: Surgical removal of the tumor may be sufficient.
- Stage 2B and 3: Surgery combined with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
- Stage 4: Intensive treatment involving surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and possibly stem cell transplant.
- Stage 4S: Often involves a "wait and watch" approach, as the tumor may regress on its own. Chemotherapy is used in cases where the tumor causes symptoms.
