To investigate the efficacy of color Doppler ultrasound combined with propranolol in the treatment of infantile vascular cancer is the objective of the study. 126 children with vascular cancer in the Department of Dermatology of a provincial hospital were randomly divided into ultrasound, propranolol and conventional systematic treatment. Compared with the control group, the experimental group could master more detailed and comprehensive information on the volume, depth and elasticity of hemangioma and the size of hemangioma in the experimental group decreased by 38.5 % after 1 mo of treatment and 59.7 % after 3 mo of treatment. The coagulation function of blood vessels recovered and the blood flow velocity increased by 22.3 % compared with that before treatment. The effect of rehabilitation treatment was significantly better than that of the control group (76.49 %>62.35 %). There was significant difference between the two groups in adverse reactions such as blister (p=0.146), infection (p=0.027), pigment change (p=0.033), scar (p=0.032) and rash (p=0.007) (p<0.05). The average treatment effect of vascular cancer in the experimental group was 94.55 %, which had significant statistical significance in the recovery of physical function and coordination of patients (p<0.05), and the median survival time and quality of life were significantly different from those in the control group (p<0.05). Ultrasound combined with propranolol can effectively improve the condition of infant vascular cancer, contribute to the later rehabilitation treatment and improve the quality of life.
