Hello
You are asking a very excellent question. However, you do not provide enough information about the illness to allow me to fully answer your question. Embryonic tumors can also be referred to as embryonal tumors. In children, they are often a form of tumor that occurs in the brain or central nervous system. Most often, depending on the location of the tumor, they are treated with surgery followed by radiation. Sometimes chemotherapy is recommended.
If your daughter has a form of this tumor that involves her brain or central nervous system, you can obtain more information online. An excellent source of information is www.mayoclinic.org and search for “brain tumors.” Or you can do a google search looking for “embryonic tumors in children.” The results take you to several references including the Mayo Clinic reference. To summarize more fully, I would need to know her symptoms, overall condition, and potentially the results of any biopsy that has been done. I would recommend that she be evaluated by a pediatric neurologic oncologist at a center with specialists in this field.
Good luck.
