Jun Jun is 7 years old and already in the first grade of primary school. Recently, Junjun’s parents found out that his son was always walking unsteadily and falling down at every turn. At first, adults thought it was Junjun Being mischievous and doing it on purpose, but after careful observation, adults noticed that not only did the child walk erratically, but also often said that he had a headache and his eyes became a little weird.

Junjun’s parents were worried and took the child to the hospital for examination. At this time, Junjun could no longer walk independently, and < strong>Both eyes are slanted to the outside, and there is also a problem with vision. After a series of examinations, Junjun was finally diagnosed with intracranial malignant tumor with tumor stroke, requires immediate hospitalization.

This made Junjun’s parents very devastated. They have always been concerned about their children’s health.

First, the incidence of childhood tumors is increasing year by year, family protection is very important

According to the latest data survey, there are about 400,000 new cases of cancer in children and adolescents (0-19 years old) every year in the world, and about 30,000 to 40,000 new children with malignant tumors in my country each year. my country accounts for 30,000 to 40,000 cases.Malignant tumors have become the second leading cause of death in children except for accidental death.It seriously endangers the safety of children. Therefore, it is very important to protect children from cancer.

At present, there are two main types of childhood malignant tumors, one is solid tumors , including neuroblastoma, hepatoblastoma, medulloblastoma, Wilms tumor, etc.; one is hematological tumors , with leukemia the most common.

Yan Jie, Director of the Department of Pediatric Oncology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer HospitalReminder: Due to the fact that children are young and have more health awareness Weak, so if you want to detect childhood tumors early, parents have to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Especially when women are pregnant, they should keep away from decoration materials, paints, pesticides and other chemicals, which will help reduce the risk of childhood cancer; Relevant knowledge, improve awareness of protection; pay more attention to the child’s health on weekdays, once abnormality is found, such as inexplicable lumps in the abdomen and limbs, take the child to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment in time, which is of great significance to the later treatment and recovery.

Second, 80% of childhood tumors can be cured, the key is “early”

Usually, children’s tumors are caused by “strong bone marrow regeneration ability and strong metabolism” Compared with adults, the prognosis is relatively ideal, and the overall cure survival rate can reach 80%.

Taking neuroblastoma as an example, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, the early-stage low-risk survival rate exceeds 85%, and even the high-risk disease can reach 40%-50%.

In addition, according to the data of neuroblastoma cases treated by Beijing Children’s Hospital, the 5-year survival rate of early-stage low-risk childhood neuroblastoma is up to 50% after standard surgical treatment. 86.7%, late high risk, 3-year overall survival rate of 49.1%.

It can be seen that the treatment effect of children’s tumors is relatively optimistic, but the premise is that “early detection and early treatment” can be achieved.

Experts remind, before the age of three, Seven or eight years of school age, and adolescence before the age of thirteen or fourteen years oldThese three stages are the high incidence age groups for childhood tumors. Parents should pay more attention to the physical changes of their children. When the cause is abnormal, seek medical attention in time and strive for early diagnosis and early treatment.

If the above situations occur, you should go to the child’s hospital in time to check the specific reasons, and then carry out targeted treatment.

In addition, in order to better detect early childhood tumors, parents should also learn to check. Zhang Jinzhe, Chief Physician of Surgery of Beijing Children’s Hospitalshared a set of self-examination methods for children’s tumors. The operation is very simple, and parents can get it!

Self-examination method:When bathing the child, parents can keep their fingers To touch the surface of the skin, you can touch it in the order of the eight characters: head, neck, shoulders, arms, abdomen, legs, back, (perineal) yin.

Remember to develop a fixed habit, strictly abide by the sequence of the eight-character formula every time, and not mess or leak, so as to ensure cleanliness and timely distribution.It is abnormal, which is of great significance for the detection of early childhood tumors.

Summary: The high incidence of children’s tumors seriously endangers children’s health and even life safety. However, because children’s verbal expression and health awareness are weak, as a parent’s friend, Be careful and pay close attention to your child’s physical changes. Once an abnormality occurs, especially if it lasts for a long time and is ineffective after conventional treatment, you should be alert to the tumor and take your child to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid serious consequences. #HealthStarProject# #Health2022#
