Answer
The treatment for vascular or vascular malformations should be determined based on the type, location, and age of the patient. Common treatment methods include surgical removal, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and sclerosing agent injection. Usually, a comprehensive treatment approach is adopted. For hemangiomas in infants, observation is recommended. If the tumor grows rapidly, timely and appropriate intervention should be provided.
