summary

February 16 is the first "International Children's Cancer Day". Professor Zhou Xiaoyu, director of general surgery and director of general surgery of provincial children's Hospital, said that in recent years, the incidence of children's cancer has gradually increased. Although there are many causes of the disease, many of them are related to parents' living habits. Pregnant women must pay attention to keeping away from radiation and chemical substances. Now let's get to know about leukemia in pregnant women? It's a matter of time.

Why does pregnant woman get leukaemia?

First: Recently, a pregnant woman suffered from leukemia due to excessive formaldehyde in her rental house. In order to treat her, she had to induce a six-month-old fetus to labor. This tragedy comes from the excessive formaldehyde in the room, so the problem of indoor air pollution is pushed to the forefront of the media once again.

Second: during pregnancy, the incidence rate of pregnancy complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome, pregnancy vomiting and pregnancy anemia will increase significantly, and may cause neonatal weight loss, deformity or even death. Therefore, pregnant women should minimize exposure to these harmful chemicals.

Third: for children, inhalation of formaldehyde will enter the blood through the respiratory tract, eventually leading to hematopoietic dysfunction. The most obvious effect on children is chronic aplastic anemia. Chronic aplastic anemia (CAA) is a group of bone marrow hematopoietic failure caused by a variety of causes, which is characterized by hematopoietic stem cell damage and peripheral blood pancytopenia. If the chronic disease is not well controlled, it will become acute and even life-threatening. According to the epidemiological statistics in China, the natural incidence rate of leukemia is about 3/100000. About 40 thousand leukemia patients are added each year, 50% of them are children, and the majority of children are 2 to 7 years old. Indoor environmental pollution caused by home decoration is considered to be the main reason for the increase of leukemia children in urban areas.

matters needing attention

High mortality: more than 250000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year. About 90000 children died of cancer. Cancer has become the leading cause of death in children. High incidence: leukemia is the highest in children and the incidence rate of cancer is the highest. In China, there are 30000-40000 children with malignant tumor every year, one third of them are leukemia. High pressure: in general, the division of labor mode of sacrificing the mother is adopted in children's families. The treatment and living expenses are all supported by the father, and the mother accompanies the children all day. Huge treatment costs may also depend on the elderly at home or borrow from relatives and friends.
