The Ethical Problems during the Diagnosis and Treatment of Children with Leukemia

急性白血病是儿童最常见的恶性肿瘤。随着医学科学的发展及临床诊疗水平的提高,大多数儿童白血病已由“不治之症”成为可治之症。但是由于传统的观念、经济因素、社会保障系统的滞后、致使约13～1/2的患者家长选择了放弃或不能坚持治疗,使患儿丧失了医疗权和生存权。呼吁医务人员及全社会奉献爱心、挽救孩子、挽救家庭,使社会更和谐。

Acute leukemia is the most common malignacy in children. Along with the development of medical science and the elevation of the level of diagnosis and treatment, most of the childhood leukemia is changed from 'incurable disease'to 'curable disease'. But due to traditional concept? economic factors ?and lagging of social guarantee system,about 1/3～1/2 of patients's parents discontinue or give up treatment,which makes patients lose the medical rights and survival rights.We appeal medical workers and the whole society to devote love?to save the children from suffering leukemia,help the family and make society more harmonious.
