Background: Treatment of children with stage III and IV hepatoblastoma has shown little improvement with 5-year survival rates of 64% and 25%, respectively (J Clin Oncol 2000;18:2665-75). A timely and organized treatment program including preoperative chemotherapy combined with living donor liver transplantation and postoperative chemotherapy has been used seeking improved long-term survival in stage III and IV cases.
Methods: A retrospective review of 8 patients with stage III and IV hepatoblastoma unresectable by conventional resection were treated with complete hepatectomy and transplantation.
