Infographic: Survival in children with hepatoblastoma and pulmonary metastatic disease at diagnosis based on extent of metastases and need for surgical clearance
Topic overview
Multicenter study of 62 children with hepatoblastoma and lung metastases demonstrates that long-term survival is achievable regardless of metastatic burden extent. Combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical metastasectomy successfully cleared pulmonary disease in 95% of patients, with survival rates comparable between extensive (>10 lesions) and limited metastatic disease.
