Three-year-old Aleisha Hunter from Toronto, Canada, has made a full recovery from breast cancer after becoming the youngest person ever to be diagnosed with the disease, the Daily Mail reported.

Now aged four, she is completely clear of the disease. Doctors say the cancer is unlikely to return but Aleisha faces regular check-ups for the next few years, and will need reconstructive breast surgery when she is a teenager.

Breast cancer is rare in young girls because there is little tissue in the area and it is unaffected by female sex hormones. (点击《每日邮报》查看原文)

3岁女童战胜乳腺癌

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,加拿大多伦多市年仅3岁的女童阿蕾莎•亨特被诊断患有乳腺癌,成为全世界年龄最小的乳腺癌患者。

       如今,年满4岁的阿蕾莎已经完全康复。医生称,她的乳腺癌不太可能复发,但在未来数年里,阿蕾莎需要定期接受身体检查。当她长到十几岁时,医生将为她施行乳房整形手术。

       这么小年龄的女孩患乳腺癌实属罕见,因为小女孩几乎没有乳房组织,不受女性荷尔蒙影响。
