Treatment advances over the last few decades have dramatically increased survival for children with cancer. More than half the children treated for cancer are now cured. Consequently, professionals working with these children are beginning to focus on minimizing the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment as well as helping families cope with a chronic, life-threatening illness. This article presents an overview of the incidence, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of common childhood cancers. Approaches to care, efforts to prevent acute and late toxic effects, and nursing management of children with malignancies are discussed.
在过去几十年里，治疗方法的进步显著提高了癌症患儿的生存率。现在，接受癌症治疗的儿童中超过一半被治愈。因此，与这些儿童打交道的专业人员开始将重点放在尽量减少癌症及其治疗的不良影响，以及帮助家庭应对这种慢性、危及生命的疾病上。本文概述了常见儿童癌症的发病率、病因、诊断和治疗方法。文中还讨论了护理方法、预防急慢性毒性作用的措施以及恶性肿瘤患儿的护理管理。
