Patient's question:
The baby has recently lost weight noticeably and has no appetite. They always feel nauseous and keep complaining of headaches. At night, they were sent to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was diagnosed as neuroblastoma. I would like to ask what are the nursing care measures for neuroblastoma?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the effect of adjusting solely through food is not very good. After complete resection of primary tumors in children, further treatment is not necessary. In recent years, some people have advocated closely monitoring instead of immediate surgery for Stage I tumors under 1 year old, as most of them can spontaneously regress. Stage A patients have benign tissue structure, no lymph node metastasis, normal NSE and ferritin levels, and no N-myc gene amplification. Postoperative routine chemotherapy for 12 cycles is recommended, with local radiation therapy if necessary.
