Our society is no longer just the tumor occurs in adults who have suffered from the children after birth the risk of cancer. In recent years, the incidence of cancer in children, there have been a rising trend, noted in the statistics, the incidence rate of 5% every 5 years the rate of increase in all causes of death in children after accidental injury, ranked second, accounting for the total deaths of children rate of 10.7%. Because early treatment of children with cancer better prognosis than adults, so early detection is the key to success.
Pediatric cancer in the clinical performance and clinical manifestations of food taboos
Age mainly in children less than 5 years period. And the growth rate is very fast. More common in infants and young children, such as the various hamartomas can be like a vicious kind of rapid infiltration of surrounding tissue to grow, but the transfer does not occur; some possible spontaneous regression, vascular tumors to have such characteristics. Most malignant solid tumors grow rapidly in a short time because of a painless mass and be noticed, but its early symptoms are usually obvious, there is seldom clinically significant anemia and weight loss, until it suddenly appeared during the late cachexia. Many tumor invasion or metastasis in early stage to the adjacent tissue or lymph nodes, or blood moving transfer to the lung, skeletal or brain. However, neuroblastoma 2% to 5% of cases could be transformed into mature into a benign tumor of ganglion cells. Although most of the teratomas are benign, but 15% can be malignant. Some tumors often accompanied by other abnormalities, such as Wilms tumor with aniridia patients, unilateral limb hypertrophy, sacrococcygeal teratoma cleft palate, spinal deformity surgery. Malignancy within 1 year of age, treatment is best. Mass of any entity in children, must be the vicious treatment, avoid excessive palpable, after due examination and preparation, should be removed as soon as possible, and finally confirmed by pathological examination, to give the necessary treatment. Recurrence of malignant tumors, most occurred in the six months after surgery, but the addition of extended time to relapse after chemotherapy, if more than 3 years without recurrence, then there is hope to cure.
Pediatric cancer clinical performance and the symptoms of food taboos have the following characteristics: fever of unknown cause in 2 weeks or more, or body temperature fluctuated; pale, thin, fatigue, loss of appetite; unexplained systemic or local lymph nodes swelling, pressure up without pain; abdominal Zhangde bulging, accompanied by stomach pain; for no reason or vomiting, and unsteadiness associated with facial paralysis, visual impairment and other neurological symptoms; highlight one or both eyes , bruising around the eyes, or accompanied by headache, decreased vision; the skin surface of the mass of unknown cause, associated with gradually increasing trend; the size of the trunk or limbs bleeding, petechiae accompanied by fever or nosebleeds, bleeding gums; infants and young children have eyes abnormal white light point; unknown primary with hematuria, dysuria.
Pediatric cancer clinical performance and food taboos, the following are some common pediatric cancer:
