What should be paid attention to in vitro baby cancer early warning
IVF cancer refers to the cancer that occurs during the development of embryos produced by in vitro fertilization in the womb. Although IVF cancer is relatively rare, it still needs the attention of parents and doctors. Early warning is the key to ensure early detection and treatment. This article will elaborate the contents of early warning of IVF cancer from four aspects: genetic factors, clinical symptoms, case records and regular screening.
Genetic factor
Genetic factors are an important factor in IVF cancer. Patients with cancer in their family history need to inform their doctors before pregnancy. Whether there is a certain type of cancer in the family, especially the incidence of childhood cancer, has an important impact on the risk of infant cancer. For IVF infants with a family history of cancer, more careful observation and screening are needed.
In addition, certain genetic mutations can increase the risk of cancer in infants. For example, BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations are related to the heredity of breast cancer, and in the early warning of IVF, the mutations of these genes also need attention.
Therefore, for IVF babies with family history or possible gene mutation, doctors need to do a good job in prevention and screening in advance. Through consultation with genetics experts, the corresponding gene testing is carried out, and infants are more closely observed.
Clinical symptoms
The early warning of IVF cancer needs to pay attention to the clinical symptoms of infants. These symptoms may be common infant diseases, but they may also be early manifestations of cancer. Common symptoms include: sudden, persistent high fever, progressive anemia, persistent skin itching, weight loss, and recurrent disease that had improved.
In addition, attention should also be paid to the growth and development of infants and changes in their behavior habits. Early cancer often leads to growth retardation, anorexia, fatigue and other symptoms. If the growth and development of the baby is obviously lagging behind and the mental state continues to decline, it is necessary to seek medical advice as soon as possible for further screening.
Therefore, parents should pay attention to any abnormal clinical symptoms of children and seek medical advice in time. Early detection of diseases is helpful to early treatment and improve the success rate of treatment.
Case record
Recording cases is one of the important means for early warning of IVF cancer. Parents need to regularly record the growth and development, temperature changes, diet and other abnormalities of the baby. These records are helpful for doctors to make a comprehensive and accurate assessment and diagnosis.
At the same time, parents need to regularly feed back the baby's physical condition to the doctor, and carry out further inspection and treatment according to the doctor's suggestions. Timely recording and feedback of cases can better monitor the development of cancer and provide more effective treatment measures.
Therefore, parents should take case records as their daily work, communicate closely with doctors, and pay close attention to the baby's physical condition.
Regular screening
Regular screening is an important part of early warning of IVF cancer. Children's tumor hospital is an ideal choice for regular screening. During regular screening, pediatricians will carry out a series of examinations, including physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging examinations, etc., to ensure the health of infants.
The screening items may vary according to the specific situation of the baby. The pediatrician will develop a personalized screening program for each baby according to the risk assessment of the baby. In general, regular physical examination, blood test and imaging examination are common screening items.
Regular screening can detect cancer or potential disease risks early, and take corresponding measures in time to improve the survival rate and recovery rate of infants.
Summary
The early warning of IVF cancer needs to pay attention to genetic factors, clinical symptoms, case records and regular screening. Genetic factors and personal family history can provide valuable risk assessment information and guide doctors to carry out early prevention and screening. Focusing on clinical symptoms can help to detect and treat potential cancer in an early stage. Recording cases and regular screening are important monitoring means, which can provide doctors with comprehensive and accurate disease assessment. Through the above comprehensive measures, the early warning and treatment effect of IVF cancer can be improved to ensure the healthy growth of infants.
