The reporter visited Dr. Zhang Wenlin, chief physician of pediatric hematology oncology department of provincial cancer hospital, and asked him to explain this knowledge. The hematology department of Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital, Zhang Wenlin, pays attention to three aspects of prevention Leukemia is the most common malignant tumor in children, there are acute and chronic, and in clinical cases, more than 90% of the sick children have acute leukemia.    Zhang Wenlin introduced, the early symptoms of childhood leukemia is very atypical, parents often ignore. At first, the child becomes lazy and has a loss of appetite; thereafter, bone and joint pain, irregular fever, etc.; finally, liver, spleen, lymph node enlargement, etc. If the above suspicious symptoms are found, parents should immediately take their children to the hospital for examination.    For the cause of childhood leukemia, Zhang Wenlin said that so far it is still not clear enough, but according to clinical statistics, there are at least three major aspects that should attract parents’ attention.    “Decoration pollution is the culprit of childhood leukemia.” Zhang Wenlin said it is important to avoid exposing children to too much exposure to certain chemicals such as phenol, which are mostly found in decorative materials.    “In daily life, try to avoid receiving large doses of exposure to radiation.” Zhang Wenlin said not to repeatedly give children a chest X-ray or CT, and to reduce as much as possible the contact time between children and cell phones, computers, TVs and other appliances with microwaves.    “Usually keep a good ‘mouth’ off, beware of disease from the mouth.” Zhang Wenlin said, children should be sick under the guidance of doctors scientific medicine to prevent serious consequences.    The discovery of early eighty percent can be cured “leukemia is incurable?” Zhang Wenlin said, with the improvement of medical level, childhood leukemia found early then 80% can be cured.    Zhang Wenlin explained that childhood leukemia is divided into acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia, with correct diagnosis, typing and treatment, the former can reach a complete remission rate of 90% and long-term disease-free survival rate of 70%; the latter 70% can be in complete remission and more than half can survive long-term.    In his work, Zhang Wenlin found that another major factor that plagues families and doctors is the economic problem. He said that the province’s new rural cooperative medical care has introduced policies that allow for direct reimbursement (direct reimbursement) of 85 percent of the inpatient costs of childhood leukemia patients who meet the criteria for major medical treatment at qualified designated hospitals. In addition, the “China Red Cross Little Angel Fund Project”, Henan Province “Light Up Life Program – Major Disease Relief for Poor Children” public welfare project and “Zhengzhou Charity Federation of Henan Province Cancer Hospital Blessing Fund” project all lend a helping hand to leukemia patients, providing financial help for timely treatment of children with the disease.    Zhang Wenlin concluded by saying that leukemia is not scary, but it is important to have the knowledge of prevention and to go to regular medical institutions in time after discovering the disease, so that with scientific prevention and early treatment, the disease can be prevented and overcome.
