Definitions

1. Hepatoblastoma is the most common malignant liver tumor in children. (Web site)
2. Hepatoblastoma (HB) is an uncommon pediatric liver tumor in humans and horses.
3. Hepatoblastoma is a very rare cancerous tumor that originates in the liver. (Web site)
4. Treatment for hepatoblastoma is generally aimed at resecting (removing) as much of the tumor as possible while maintaining adequate liver function. (Web site)

Common Symptoms

1. The following are the most common symptoms of hepatoblastoma. (Web site)

Transplantation

1. Molmenti EP, Wilkinson K, Molmenti H, et al.: Treatment of unresectable hepatoblastoma with liver transplantation in the pediatric population.

Children Younger

1. One type of primary liver cancer, called a hepatoblastoma, usually occurs in children younger than four years of age and between the ages of 12 and 15. (Web site)

Treatment

1. Katzenstein HM, Rigsby C, Shaw PH, et al.: Novel therapeutic approaches in the treatment of children with hepatoblastoma.
2. Feusner JH, Krailo MD, Haas JE, et al.: Treatment of pulmonary metastases of initial stage I hepatoblastoma in childhood.

Chemotherapy

1. Reyes JD, Carr B, Dvorchik I, et al.: Liver transplantation and chemotherapy for hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular cancer in childhood and adolescence.
2. For hepatoblastoma, there is a general consensus for combining surgical resection with neoadjuvant (and adjuvant) chemotherapy. (Web site)

Adjuvant Therapy

1. The treatment of choice for hepatoblastoma is surgical excision with adjuvant therapy. (Web site)

Tumor

1. Complete removal of the tumor remains very important to achieving a cure in children with hepatoblastoma.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

1. Tumors: Both hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma can occur in children.
2. Cure of hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma requires gross tumor resection.

Patients

1. Pretransplant intra-arterial therapy was very effective in patients with hepatoblastoma but less efficacious in children with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Primary Analysis

1. To prevent the inclusion of cases of hepatoblastoma, the primary analysis was confined to liver cancers in children six years of age or older. (Web site)

Resectable

1. Therefore, resection is possible more often in hepatoblastoma than hepatocellular carcinoma, in which less than 30% are resectable.

Hepatoblastoma

1. Surgical resection of distant disease has also contributed to the cure of children with hepatoblastoma.
2. Liver transplantation should be considered for children in whom hepatoblastoma is confined to the liver and is not resectable (II-3).
