Patient's question:
At 6 months old, the sleep is poor, little appetite, often catches colds, and recovery is slow. The body is relatively thin, with abdominal swelling, and frequent crying. Discovery time: May 7, 2009.Doctor's answer:
It looks like the condition is quite serious. Both possibilities are possible. Could you upload some imaging studies? Regardless, according to the internationally accepted treatment protocols, a tumor tissue biopsy must be performed, and it is recommended to use an open surgical biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Of course, surgery generally helps determine whether it is hepatoblastoma or neuroblastoma, and the specific pathological results will then guide the chemotherapy plan. If the tumor can be resected in one stage, that would be ideal. If not, chemotherapy should be administered first. Over the years, there have been significant advancements in chemotherapy, and the comprehensive treatment outcomes for tumors have greatly improved compared to the past, significantly extending survival. Currently, doctors are not yet able to say that any malignant tumor can be completely cured, but the longer the survival time, the better the outcome. In our hospital in recent years, children with tumors such as hepatoblastoma and neuroblastoma have achieved high rates of surgical resection after comprehensive treatment, with clinical results that are truly encouraging. Face it bravely. Wishing you all the best.
