Question
My nephew’s daughter has been complaining of stomach pain for some time. She felt her abdomen and found a lump that is larger than that of most children, but she is not overweight. Worrying about her daughter’s health, her cousin took her to the hospital for a thorough check-up, only to discover that she has neuroblastoma. What are the causes of pediatric neuroblastoma?
Answer
Neuroblastoma is an innate disease. It primarily affects children under the age of 10. It is one of the most common diseases within the first three weeks, with very few surviving beyond the age of 10. Currently, the cause of the disease remains unclear. Therefore, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are still the three main treatment methods for neuroblastoma. Treatment intensity is determined based on prognostic factors from clinical diagnosis. It is recommended that you prepare for treatment as soon as possible to achieve more significant effects.
