Maternal Vitamin Use and Reduced Risk of Neuroblastoma
Considering that many prenatal vitamins (preferably the non-pharmaceutical brands…) are high in folic acid, the results of this study are not surprising.

Providing adequate levels of folic acid may help ensure that cells of the developing fetus are well differentiated (i.e. less likely to become tumors).
