小女孩取得的康復進展，展現了她驚人的毅力，也體現了 St. Jude 專業治療的力量。 ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Lucy 如今能自信地書寫字母與數字，並且能在鋼琴上彈奏出簡單旋律。這位 6 歲的小女孩還能跑能跳，也很喜歡吃點心。 而就在幾年前，這位小女孩還無法站立、行走或說話。如今，她已是一名活潑的小學生，熱愛音樂，喜歡品嚐媽媽做的中國傳統風味佳餚，並且樂於享受每一次嶄新的體驗。 Lucy 3 歲時，醫學檢查發現她腦內長了一顆腫瘤。她被轉送至加州住家附近的兒童醫院接受手術，儘可能切除腫瘤。她被診斷出患有髓母細胞瘤，這是兒童時期最常見的惡性腦腫瘤之一。 手術隔天，Lucy 出現了後顱窩症候群 (PFS)，這影響了她說話、站立和行走的能力。PFS 有時會在切除顱底（中樞神經系統重要部位所在之處）腦腫瘤的手術後發生。大多數患有 PFS 的兒童會逐漸好轉，並恢復語言和運動技能。 「我們眼睜睜看著一個精力充沛的孩子，變得無法行走、說話或書寫，當時我們非常焦慮，」Lucy 的母親 Yanli 說道，「但那時我們心裡想著，只要她還活著就足夠了。」 Lucy 隨後被轉介至 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®，並於 2023 年 12 月抵達入院，由兒科部主任 Amar Gajjar (MD) 進行治療。在 St. Jude，醫療團隊對 Lucy 的腫瘤進行了分子檢測（包括甲基化分析），確定了其腫瘤的組別與亞型：第 3/4 組，第 7 亞群。甲基化分析能讓醫師了解腫瘤的特徵，並針對顯微鏡下看似相同的不同腫瘤進行精準診斷。 ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Yanli 表示，她曾看過 St. Jude 針對 …
