Long-term morbidity and mortality in 2-year hepatoblastoma survivors treated with SIOPEL risk-adapted strategies.

Background And Aims: Prognosis of hepatoblastoma patients has increased with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and high-quality resection including liver transplant. Consequently current risk-adapted therapeutic strategy aims to reduce long-term side effects in patients with standard risk disease.

Methods: We report long-term mortality and morbidity data concerning 151 2-year hepatoblastoma survivors treated with SIOPEL risk-adapted strategies (sex-ratio M/F = 1.
