Patient's question:
My little son has always been very mischievous since he was a child. He has never been picky about food. Whatever I feed him, he eats it, which is quite annoying. Recently, I don't know what's wrong, but no matter what I give him to eat, he only takes a little bit. Sometimes he just stares blankly at me, and it makes me feel very heartbroken. I couldn't help but take him to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said he had neuroblastoma. I asked the doctor, what are the symptoms of neuroblastoma in children?Doctor's answer:
Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor, primarily if it is a chest tumor, it can manifest as cough, shortness of breath, and pleural effusion. It can lead to liver, spleen, and lymph node enlargement, bone metastasis, and bone marrow dissemination. It can also cause bulging eyes and lymph node enlargement. The main treatment methods involve chemotherapy drugs combined with surgical treatment. It is essential to maintain regular nutrition, prevent infection, and enhance nutrition, as well as strengthen exercise and physical fitness.
