However, in fact,
Newborn infants and young children may also suffer from cancer
June this year

After nearly half a year of chemotherapy
Finally, she received a malignant tumor removal at Ningbo Women and Children Hospital
41-year-old child actually got cancer
0 Xiao He went to the pediatric department of Ningbo Women and Children Hospital for treatment because she often cried. What is heartbreaking is that she had just turned one year old at that time. During the physical examination, Xiao He was crying all the time. The doctor suggested a CT scan of the head, but it was found that there were lesions in the skull.
Doctor said that when the child was admitted to the hospital, her skull bones had been corrosively damaged, and it was worm-like and honeycomb-like. was initially determined to be neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a pediatric solid tumor with a high degree of malignancy, and Xiao He has brain metastasized .
Family cannot accept this fact:
How can a child such a young
have a malignant tumor? Children with young malignant tumors such as
are not isolated cases. At the beginning of this year, the hospital also treated a baby Xiaoye who was only 1 year and two months old. At that time, the child was diagnosed with continuous fever and weight loss and found that hemoglobin was low. Finally, an 8×7×10 cm lump was found in his liver, which was equivalent to the size of an adult fist.
htmlA child over 01 years old, such a big lump has made his liver deformed. was finally diagnosed as hepatoblastoma , which had reached stage 4 and metastasized to the lungs. Fortunately, after 4 chemotherapy and surgery, Xiaoye is currently recovering well.When solid tumors are found in children
often have reached the middle and late stages
Many people are puzzled
Why do children get tumors?
Doctor said that is related to genetic factors,
environmental impact and diet
During embryonic development, if a certain mutation occurs or is affected by adverse factors, it will cause disorders in the differentiation potential of cells. If there is no normal differentiation or stop differentiation, it is easy to cause tumors after birth.
According to reports, children with malignant tumors include hematologic tumors and malignant solid tumors. However, people generally only know children's blood tumors mainly leukemia , but they rarely hear about children's solid tumors.
In fact, this tumor has accounted for more than 50% of the incidence of malignant tumors in children, and malignant solid tumors in children have become neglected "dark tumors".

Early symptoms of children's tumors are mostly fever of unknown causes, lymph node enlargement , abdominal lumps, etc. The symptoms of are atypical and not obvious. In addition, children do not have the ability to self-report, so many solid tumors are easily overlooked and are often in the middle and late stages when discovered.
In addition, many parents do not believe that their children will get tumors, and even if there is a clear diagnosis, they will not believe it. They seek medical treatment everywhere, which delays treatment. Therefore, experts recommend that early detection and early treatment are crucial, and do not miss the best treatment opportunity because of carelessness.
