Here, we have investigated the diagnostic role of plasma free metanephrines (PFM), Neuroblastoma metanephrine (MN), normetanephrine (NMN) and 3-methoxytyramine (3MT) for NB, the most common extra- Liquid chromatography-tandem mass cranial solid tumour in children. spectrometry Methods: PFM were quantified by using a commercial IVD-CE LC-MS/MS method on a TSQ Quantiva coupled to Diagnosis an Ultimate 3000. The method was further validated on 103 samples from pediatric subjects (54 patients with histologically confirmed NB and 49 age and sex matched controls). Correlations between PFM concentrations with clinical factors were tested.
