Study progress in early recognition and initial treatment before referral of childhood malignant solid tumors

Abstract

Childhood malignant solid tumors exhibit a wide variety of vagueness signs and symptoms in the early stage, which are usually nonspecific, therefore the diagnosis of childhood malignant solid tumor can be challenging when the disease is in the early stage.As a result, the delay of diagnosis causes mistreatment, and which makes childhood malignant solid tumors become a leading cause of death in children.Physicians should recognize the early warning signs of childhood cancer, and a good clinical history and careful physical examination can help physicians determine whether the children have cancer and make referrals in time.Some children with possible cancers require immediate initial treatment before referral to be stabilized in order to make the referrals possible and increase the chance of receiving appropriate treatment in time and the possibility of being cured, saving more children with malignant solid tumors to the maximum extent.
