Concerned about the children's cancer "three early"

According to medical statistics, 0-14-year-old children, the incidence of malignant tumors accounted for 0.6% of all malignant tumors. Although the incidence is relatively low, but the high degree of malignancy and mortality accounted for 10.7% of child mortality, has become apart from unintentional injuries outside the main cause of child deaths. Children's cancer attributable to their lack of knowledge, the majority of patients with atypical symptoms, children complained of poor, as well as the lack of professional children's cancer doctor and other reasons, in which children can not be the early detection of cancer is often misdiagnosed or even, this is children's cancer patients are not at an early stage to be timely and correct diagnosis and treatment, resulting in an important factor in poor prognosis.

Children's cancer incidence rates according to the order of white blood and central nervous system tumors, malignant lymphoma, a variety of neuroblastoma (common for neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma and retinoblastoma, etc.), abnormal Fetal tumors and rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and so on. They can occur in childhood of all ages, and some malignant tumors such as neuroblastoma may be derived from embryonic period, that is in the neonatal period have been discovered. More than the vast majority of tumors derived from the mother's pregnancy when the embryonic mesoderm of the non-epithelial cells of such tumors in the deeper parts of the body, in addition to the individual tumor outside (such as neuroblastoma specific neural enolase) At present there is no effective screening method of the crowd, it was found more difficult. Although the application of molecular techniques in recent years, there are some reports in the diagnosis, it is still at the research stage and not yet generally used in clinical. Therefore, the diagnosis of malignant tumors in children still rely on parents to detect the disease early leads and specialists in clinical diagnosis.

Parents cope with children are highly vigilant of the following symptoms: (1) systemic performance: longer-term fever, in particular by the short-term antiviral and antibiotic treatment ineffective heat; short-term significant weight loss, weight does not increase or decrease; weakness, Dai Juan; constantly increasing anemia, pale; endocrine disorders, such as asymmetrical such as obesity or precocious puberty. (2) Local performance: mainly local pain, swelling, as well as the surrounding organ mass produce a range of symptoms of oppression. Easier for the early detection of superficial lumps, but in the hidden parts of the body cavity is difficult to lump the early detection of the parents. Parents should note that at this point whether there is tumor compression of adjacent organs produce symptoms, such as mediastinal tumor may cause difficulty in breathing or hold your breath; abdominal gastrointestinal tract tumors often arise because of oppression, nausea, vomiting and intestinal obstruction symptoms; sacral or pelvic tumors can be lead to abnormal bowel movement or urination.

Once the parents found that the above-mentioned abnormal situation, it is timely to set up children's cancer specialist children's cancer hospital physician please check to make a timely diagnosis, so as not to delay treatment. Examination of children's cancer patients, including non-invasive, which means that pairs of children to conduct the inspection without pain, such as the X-ray plain films, B Chao, CT and other tests, more receptive to their families; a-invasive, which means that there is suffering on the children's inspection, such as lumbar puncture, bone marrow puncture, Biopsy examination and other family members are not always easy to accept, but sometimes it is only through these checks in order to obtain the scientific pathology. To make a correct diagnosis of the early development of rational treatment programs to improve treatment and survival rates are very critical. Such as early nephroblastoma (Ⅰ period) more than 90% cure rate, while the transfer time of diagnosis has been late (Ⅳ period) the patient's cure rate is only about 50%. Children's cancer and adult is different from many diseases at an early full access to life-long cure.

Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment is to improve the efficacy and children's cancer survival rate important aspects. We make the following recommendations to parents: (1) information on the children's cancer of the popular science knowledge, improve the vigilance of the disease, if the conditions for regular medical examinations to children's oncology; (2) careful observation of the child's physical condition, abnormality was found in time to the Please oncology specialist hospitals, doctor checkups for children; (3) Do not believe in non-specialist medical diagnosis; (4) Do not refuse to doctors when necessary, the children engage in invasive examination; (5) Once diagnosed, treatment should be timely and reasonable .
