Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How can pediatric tumors be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Some childhood tumors are related to parents' occupations, such as frequent exposure to gasoline. If a father is a long-distance truck driver, the risk of lung cancer is higher. Children living in polluted air for a long time may also increase the risk of leukemia, which is why it's crucial not to rush into moving into a newly renovated house.However, Zhang Guangchao also points out that childhood tumors are absolutely preventable and treatable. "The most important thing is to have a healthy and safe living environment and good lifestyle habits." On one hand, pregnant women and young children should avoid long-term exposure to environments contaminated with carcinogens. They should minimize contact with ionizing radiation, heavy metals, and toxic gases like benzene and formaldehyde in materials. Pregnant women should also avoid unnecessary medications and radiological examinations during pregnancy. On the other hand, it's essential to pay attention to a balanced diet. Pregnant women should eat nutritious foods to ensure adequate intake of essential amino acids and vitamins. Young children should eat less puffed food, drink fewer carbonated beverages, avoid picky eating, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
