Pulmonary blastoma is a rare type of lung cancer that affects children and young adults. It is a type of malignant tumor that is made up of immature cells that have not yet developed into mature cells. It is usually found in the lower lobes of the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body. Treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Symptoms of pulmonary blastoma can vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. Common symptoms include:

-Coughing up blood
-Shortness of breath
-Chest pain
-Wheezing
-Fatigue
-Weight loss
-Fever
-Night sweats
-Loss of appetite
-Difficulty swallowing
-Hoarseness

The exact cause of pulmonary blastoma is unknown. However, some researchers believe that it may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is thought that certain genetic mutations may increase the risk of developing pulmonary blastoma. Additionally, exposure to certain environmental toxins, such as asbestos, may also increase the risk of developing this type of cancer.

The treatment for pulmonary blastoma depends on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's age and overall health. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these treatments. Surgery is the most common treatment for pulmonary blastoma and may involve removing the tumor and some of the surrounding tissue. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be used.

1. Exposure to radiation
2. Family history of cancer
3. Genetic mutations
4. Smoking
5. Exposure to certain chemicals
6. Exposure to asbestos
7. Chronic lung disease
8. Age (more common in children)

At this time, there is no known cure for pulmonary blastoma. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery. Medications used to treat pulmonary blastoma may include chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapy drugs, and immunotherapy drugs.
