Teratoma

'''Alpha-fetoprotein''' ('''AFP''') is a molecule produced in the developing [[embryo]] and [[fetus]]. Blood tests to measure AFP have two main applications: (1) in pregnant women, as a screening test for some kinds of [[congenital malformation]] and (2) in adults and children, as a [[tumor marker]] for some kinds of [[tumor]].

기형종(畸形腫)은 다른 형태로 분화가 가능한 생식 세포에 의해서 발생하는 종양이다. 보통 남자의 정소, 여자의 난소, 아이의 천골에서 발생한다.

기형종은 주변 세포와 관련없는 조직으로 형성되는 경우가 많은데, 예를 들어 난소에서 발생한 기형종은 체모와 치아로 발달하는 것으로 알려져 있다.

Thank you, X, for prompting me to check in and give you all an update. It has been a while.

We encountered so many problems with our baby's followup care "at home" that we decided to return to Boston, thousands of miles away. At Childrens Hospital Boston (CHB), the Advanced Fetal Care Center manages several fetal sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) per year, and I suppose CHB sees additional teratoma patients. Oncology is literally next door, at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

Needing appointments on short notice but not being an emergency, we were put on waiting lists for last-minute openings: first the MRI, some blood work and other tests, then consultations with our surgeon and our oncologist. To get all that accomplished, we allowed 3 weeks and we needed all 3 weeks, although we spent just 5 days visiting the hospital complex. DH was able to "telecommute" to work on some days, so he did not need to use 3 weeks of sick leave.

Our baby's MRI (pelvis and abdomen) showed "postoperative changes" where her SCT used to be, and her AFP tumor marker was again a little worse. So there is no obvious tumor but the AFP raises the "index of suspicion" that we are dealing not just with teratoma, but also with endodermal sinus tumor. Watch and wait is really hard, but I am thankful that our situation is not worse.

Given the expense, time, and effort involved in our traveling to Boston for each MRI, our plan now is to repeat the MRI only every 6 months, unless there is a pressing need to return sooner, while checking the AFP every month. I am waiting anxiously for the June AFP result.

Écoute, il y a un médecin qui m'a dit, à 22 semaines , que si le TSC avait
été diagnostiqué plus tôt, j'aurais dû faire une interruption médicale de grossesse!!
Je suis très contente car aujourdhui, ma fille va bien et j'espère que je n'aurais pas de problèmes d'incontinence urinaire.
Elle est vorace également! Elle finit tous ses biberons déjà , elle est née avec 4kg !
Moi je n'ai pas grossi pendant la grossesse, en fait c'est elle qui prenait tout!

I think Myriam means "it was a T1 without adverse effects to the other...". T as in TNM, a widely used scheme for writing cancer stage information. See [2] for an English version. At present, the English page has links only to corresponding German and Italian pages.

Regards,

We jumped right into a discussion...let me back up a little.

Welcome to TFD. We are all sorry you have any need to be here, but glad you found us.

Do you have good support for the "normal" problems of motherhood? With my first child, I depended a lot on Usenet newsgroups, especially misc.kids.breastfeeding, but there I rarely see any non-English posts. Maybe some of the other French speaking readers here can offer some good suggestions for you.
