What is hepatoblastoma

summary

Hepatoblastoma is a child's disease, not only will there be nausea, serious and even affect puberty precocious, then, what is hepatoblastoma? Let's talk about it.

What is hepatoblastoma

First of all, hepatoblastoma is a kind of malignant embryonic tumor with multiple differentiation patterns. It is composed of fetal epithelial hepatocytes, embryonic cells and differentiated mesenchymal components. Most of the hepatoblastomas are solitary.

Secondly, abdominal distention, weight loss and loss of appetite were found. Occasionally, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain may occur. Jaundice was seen in a few cases. In rare cases, hCG is secreted by tumor cells, leading to precocious puberty, pubic hair, enlarged genitalia, and coarsening voice, mostly in boys. The impact of such diseases on children is particularly serious, but also a need to pay attention to and timely treatment of the disease.

Finally, surgical resection is the first choice. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) provides a new treatment for stage I unresectable hepatoblastoma. Using the physical characteristics of ultrasound, such as visibility, tissue penetration and focus, through the ultrasonic heating effect, mechanical effect and cavitation effect, the tumor tissue in the deep part of the body is directly destroyed in vitro, which has less impact on the adjacent normal tissue, accurate positioning, non-invasive "resection", no radiation pollution and obvious curative effect. Ultrasound ablation combined with surgical resection will greatly improve the complete resection rate of hepatoblastoma.

matters needing attention

After getting the disease of hepatoblastoma, we should pay attention to conditioning, eat some high fiber food in our daily diet, especially fresh vegetables and fruits, and keep optimistic and happy mood.
