ABSTRACT
Introduction: Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary liver tumor in children and usually is diagnosed during the first three years of life. Overall survival has increased 50%, this because of chemotherapeutic schemes and expertise surgery centers.
Objectives: Evaluate biodemographic characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and survival of patients with hepatoblastoma.
Material and methods: Retrospective analysis n: 17 patients diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, from medical records of 2011-2014. Included: 1) demographic variables and prenatal history; 2) diagnostic tests and histological classification; 3) surgical and/or chemotherapy treatment and complications; 4) outcome and survival. PRETEXT-POSTEXT classification, staging risk (SIOPEL), surgical resection classification (Brisbane terminology) and modified Clavien classification.
Results: 20% showed low birth weight (≤ 2,499 g). Average age at diagnosis was 19.4 months (range 7-36 months). The biggest cause of medical consultation was abdominal mass. All patients had high levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and an imaging study; laparoscopic biopsy was performed at 52.94%. All patient received neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy; 56.2% were classified with standard risk. Groups: liver transplantation n = 8; radical resection n = 8; one patient was excluded (cause: metastases). There were no complications related to surgery; 37.5% were grade-I in modified Clavien classification. Disease-free survival (3-years): 100% liver resection and 60% liver transplant.
Conclusions: The management of the disease should be performed early in referral centers by multidisciplinary groups. There by increasing the probability of survival of patients.
