Therefore, it is recommended to seek active treatment in the hospital as early as possible.
Olfactory neuroblastoma, a malignant brain tumor that occurs during childhood, is not a genetic disease and has no connection with the parents’ genes. The exact cause of most tumors is still not well understood, with many factors potentially leading to tumor development, something that humans cannot prevent. In some cases, genetic testing can predict the likelihood of tumor growth and even the possible time of occurrence, but this is limited to only a few situations. In most cases, the cause of the tumor remains unknown. Therefore, you need not worry too much. If you have another child, there should be no problem. In fact, even identical twins may have one with the tumor while the other remains very healthy. So, please rest assured.
