Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with gross residual tumor after surgical resection
- Patients who have received prior radiotherapy at or adjacent to the primary tumor bed

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
patients with high-risk neuroblastoma
Patients undergo external beam radiation therapy using IMRT or proton beam RT twice daily for 5-6 weekdays (10-12 treatments). Patients will be evaluated by physical exams, CT scan or MRI of the primary site, and MIBG at, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months (+/- 6 weeks).
