Ngaba nawe uyafuna ukwazi ngale meko (iPilocytic Astrocytoma)? Masithethe!

Owu, ngaba wena okanye umntwana wakho ngamanye amaxesha nineentloko ezibuhlungu ezihlala zibuya? Okanye nihlanza rhoqo? Isizathu sale nto isenokuba yinto eningayicingiyo. Namhlanje siza kuthetha ngemeko ebonakala inzima kancinci, kodwa idla ngokunyangeka kakhulu. Luhlobo lwethumba lobuchopho elibizwa ngokuba yi- (Pilocytic Astrocytoma) . Eli gama livakala liyoyikisa kancinci, akunjalo? Kodwa ungakhathazeki, masithethe ngalo ngokweenkcukacha.

Yintoni le (iPilocytic Astrocytoma)?

Ngamafutshane, iPilocytic Astrocytoma sisimila esikhula ebuchotsheni. Iingqondo zethu ziqulathe uhlobo lweseli olubizwa ngokuba yi-astrocytes . Ezi ziiseli ezimile okweenkwenkwezi. Umsebenzi wazo ophambili kukunceda iiseli zemithambo-luvo ebuchotsheni bethu, ii-neurons ezithwala imiyalezo, ukuba zisebenze ngokufanelekileyo. Ngoko ke, isimila esibizwa ngokuba yiPilocytic Astrocytoma sikhula kwezi astrocytes.

I-World Health Organisation ibeka ezi thumba kwiBanga loku-1 , oko kuthetha ukuba azinazo iintsholongwane . IBanga loku-1 lithetha ukuba xa zijongwa ngemicroscope, iiseli ezikwithumba zifana neeseli eziqhelekileyo, kungekhona iiseli zomhlaza. Zikhula kancinci kakhulu . Zihlala zingasasazeki kwezinye iindawo zomzimba. Nangona kunjalo, zinokukhula kancinci ngobukhulu. Kwiimeko ezininzi, utyando lokususa ithumba lunokunyanga isifo.

Ixhaphake kangakanani le meko?

I-Pilocytic Astrocytoma lolona hlobo luqhelekileyo lwethumba lobuchopho ebantwaneni . E-United States kuphela, kuqikelelwa ukuba le meko ichaphazela malunga nomnye kubantwana abayi-100,000 abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-20 ubudala. Olu hlobo lubandakanya malunga ne-15% yazo zonke iithumba zobuchopho ebantwaneni. Kubantu abadala, aluxhaphakanga kangako, lubandakanya malunga ne-5% yazo zonke iithumba zobuchopho.

Zithini iimpawu zePilocytic Astrocytoma?

Iimpawu zePilocytic Astrocytoma zinokwahluka kumntu nomntu. Oku kuxhomekeke kakhulu kubukhulu bethumba kunye nendawo elikuyo ngqo engqondweni . Ngamanye amaxesha, ithumba lisenokungabonakalisi zimpawu de libe likhulu. Nangona kunjalo, kukho iimpawu eziqhelekileyo ezinokubonakala:

• Intloko ebuhlungu rhoqo .
• Ukudinwa, okanye ukulala rhoqo (Ukudinwa) .
• Ukuhlanza .
• Utshintsho kwindlela yokuziphatha, ubuntu, kunye neemvakalelo . Usenokuba nenkani nomsindo ngakumbi kunangaphambili.
• Utshintsho kwindlela yokucinga, yokufunda, kunye nokugxila .
• Intamo eqinileyo .
• Umbono ofipheleyo, ukubona kabini, okanye ukuhamba kwamehlo ngokukhawuleza .
• Ubuthathaka kwimilenze kunye nobunzima bokulungelelanisa xa uhamba okanye usenza imisebenzi .
• Ukufikisa ngaphambi kwexesha ngenxa yotshintsho lwehomoni.

Ukuxhuzula akunakwenzeka rhoqo, kodwa akuqhelekanga kangako.

Zenzeka phi ezi thumba (Pilocytic Astrocytoma)?

Ixesha elininzi, la mathumba (iPilocytic Astrocytoma) akhula kwinkqubo yethu yemithambo-luvo , ebuchotsheni nakwi-spinal cord. Afumaneka kakhulu kwinxalenye ebizwa ngokuba yi-cerebellum . I-cerebellum yinxalenye yengqondo yethu ngasemva, ezantsi, apho intloko nentamo kudibana khona.

Ngaphandle koko, la mathumba anokukhula nakwezinye iindawo ezilandelayo, nangona kuncinci:

• I-Optic nerve - I-optic nerve edibanisa amehlo ethu nokubona kwethu.
• I-Hypothalamus - Inxalenye ebalulekileyo yobuchopho elawula iihomoni.
• I-Brainstem - Inxalenye edibanisa ingqondo nomqolo.
• Umqolo .

Yintoni ebangela oku?

Enyanisweni, asikazi ukuba yintoni kanye kanye ebangela ukuba ezi astrocyte cells zikhule ngequbuliso zingalawuleki kwaye zenze ithumba. Nangona kunjalo, uphando lufumanise izinto ezininzi ezinokubangela oku:

• Utshintsho kwi-genetic : Utshintsho oluthile kwi-gene (BRAF) lufunyenwe lunxulumene noku.
• Ukuvezwa kwimitha ye-ionizing : Xa ufumana unyango lwemitha njengonyango lwezinye iintlobo zomhlaza, umzekelo, i-leukemia okanye i-lymphoma.

Ukongeza, iPilocytic Astrocytoma inokubonwa nakwiimeko ezithile zemfuza . Imizekelo:

• (Uhlobo 1 lwe-Neurofibromatosis)
• (Isifo sikaLi-Fraumeni)
• (i-Tuberous sclerosis)

Zeziphi iingxaki ezinokubangela oku?

Ezinye iingxaki zinokwenzeka ngenxa yePilocytic Astrocytoma. Ezi ziquka:

• Ukulahlekelwa ngumbono .
• Amehlo avuvukileyo .
• Ukunciphisa okanye ukuzuza ubunzima .

Kwiimeko ezingaqhelekanga nezinzima kakhulu, indawo kunye nobukhulu bethumba kunokubangela uxinzelelo kwi-brainstem (uxinzelelo lwe-brainstem) okanye imeko ebizwa ngokuba yi-hydrocephalus, enokuba yingozi ebomini.

Sifunyaniswa njani esi sifo (iPilocytic Astrocytoma)?

Ugqirha uza kuqala akuxilonge wena okanye umntwana wakho ngokumhlola ngokwasemzimbeni, amamele ngononophelo iimpawu zakho, aze athathe imbali yakho yezonyango . Emva koko uza kwenza uvavanyo ukuze ahlule ezinye iimeko ezinokubangela iimpawu ezifanayo.

Iiskeni (iRadiology) ukuze kufunyaniswe iPilocytic Astrocytoma

Le thumba idla ngokufunyanwa kwaye ukuxilongwa kwayo kuyaqinisekiswa.Iskeni ebizwa ngokuba yi (MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Ngamanye amaxesha, abantwana abancinci abaneempawu zeengxaki zenkqubo yemithambo-luvo baba nobunzima bokuhlala bezolile ngexesha leskeni (MRI). Kwiimeko ezinjalo, oogqirha bacebisa i (CT scan - Computed Tomography scan) . Ezi skeni zinokumisela ubungakanani, imilo, kunye nendawo echanekileyo yethumba. Oku kunceda kakhulu ekucwangciseni unyango.

Ziziphi iindlela zonyango lwePilocytic Astrocytoma?

Unyango oluphambili olucetyiswa ngoogqirha kwiPilocytic Astrocytoma lutyando lokususa ithumba . Kwiimeko ezininzi, ukuba ithumba linokususwa ngokupheleleyo ngale ndlela, imeko yePilocytic Astrocytoma inokunyangeka ngokupheleleyo.

Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha ubukhulu kunye nendawo yethumba kwenza kube nzima ukuyisusa ngokupheleleyo. Ukuba kukho umngcipheko omkhulu weengxaki, ugqirha wotyando unokususa inxalenye yethumba kuphela aze ajonge ubungakanani kunye nokukhula kwenxalenye eseleyo ngokuhamba kwexesha. Ukuba ithumba liyaphinda libuye okanye inxalenye eseleyo ikhule kwakhona, kunokwenziwa olunye utyando.

Olunye unyango olungaqhelekanga lunyango lwemitha . Ugqirha wakho unokukhetha olu nyango ngokusekwe kwindawo ekuyo ithumba, ubunzima botyando, okanye nokuba unazo ezinye iindlela ze-chemotherapy. Ugqirha wakho uya kugqiba ukuba loluphi unyango olulungele wena.

Okubalulekileyo, ngenkqubela phambili kuvavanyo lwemfuza , kuquka uvavanyo lweemolekyuli zePilocytic Astrocytoma, uvavanyo lwasemva kotyando lunokuchonga ezinye zezinguquko ezibangela iimpawu, ezifana neBRAF v600E. Kukho unyango oluvunyiweyo yi-FDA lwale nguqu. Ungafaneleka kwakhona kunyango lovavanyo okanye uvavanyo lweklinikhi . Ezi zinokuba luncedo kuwe nakwabanye. Ke, thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nokuba olu vavanyo lweemolekyuli lwenziwe kwizicubu zakho zethumba emva kotyando.

Ngaba kukho naziphi na iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zonyango?

Ezinye iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zinokwenzeka emva kotyando lokususa ithumba lePilocytic Astrocytoma. Umzekelo:

• Ukutya akunancasa .
• Ukuchama rhoqo okanye imfuneko yokuchama ngokukhawuleza .

Ndingaphila ngokukhawuleza kangakanani emva konyango?

(Pilocytic Astrocytoma) Kungathatha iiveki ezininzi ukuba umzimba wakho uphile emva kotyando ukuze kususwe ithumba. Ugqirha wakho uza kukunika imiyalelo yendlela yokuzinyamekela wena okanye umntwana wakho emva kotyando. Ukuba unemibuzo, buza ugqirha wakho.

Ithini ingqikelelo yale meko?

KwiBanga loku-1 (iPilocytic Astrocytoma), i-prognosis ilungile kakhulu . Oku kungenxa yokuba yi-tumor engeyongozi kwaye ayisasazeki kwamanye amalungu omzimba. Okukhona i-tumor ifunyanwa kwaye inyangwa ngokukhawuleza, kokukhona amathuba okuphiliswa angcono . Kwakhona, impilo yakho iyonke, ubudala, kunye nezinye izinto ziya kuchaphazela ukuxilongwa. Ngokuxhomekeke kwimeko yakho, ugqirha wakho unokukunika ukuxilongwa okuchanekileyo.

Ingakanani izinga lokusinda (iPilocytic Astrocytoma)?

Ulindelo lobomi babantwana kunye nabantu abadala abancinci abafunyenwe benePilocytic Astrocytoma ngaphambi kokuba bafikelele kwiminyaka engama-20 luphezulu kakhulu . Olunye uphando lufumanise ukuba izinga lokusinda kweminyaka eli-10 lingaphezulu kwama-92%. Eli zinga liyanda ukuba oogqirha botyando banokulisusa ngokupheleleyo eli thumba.

Ngaba i-Pilocytic Astrocytoma ingathintelwa?

Ngenxa yokuba abaphandi bengenalo ulwazi olucacileyo ngezizathu zezi thumba, okwangoku akukho ndlela yokuzithintela .

Ufanele uye nini kugqirha?

Ukuba ucinga ukuba wena okanye umntwana wakho uneempawu zePilocytic Astrocytoma, bonana nogqirha ngokukhawuleza. Ingakumbi:

• Intloko ebuhlungu rhoqo .
