8 abnormal phenomena may indicate brain cancer in children

The incidence of childhood brain cancer is second only to leukemia and ranks second among childhood tumors. There is a genetic tendency, but the cause of the disease is not very clear. There are no good preventive measures. The key is early detection. Compared with adult brain cancer, childhood brain cancer has its own special manifestations. As parents, we should pay enough attention to some abnormal behaviors of children in order to assist doctors in early detection and early treatment.
