Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Can parental genetics lead to pediatric tumors?Doctor's answer:
The onset age of pediatric malignant tumors is typically within a few months to several years after birth, often accompanied by multiple congenital anomalies and presenting as bilateral or multiple lesions. For example, leukemia may be associated with congenital hypoplasia of the testes; nephroblastoma may be combined with unilateral limb hypertrophy and hypospadias, and can also manifest as bilateral simultaneous onset; sacral teratoma may be associated with cleft palate or spinal deformities. These clinical features suggest a hereditary tumor. Even if the patient's parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, or even the entire family have no history of tumors, the onset may still be closely related to genetic factors.
