Abstract

It has been widely accepted that complete surgical resection of hepatoblastoma is essential for long-term survival. But unfortunately less than 50 % of hepatic tumors in children can be totally removed at the time of diagnosis. This report is to present the experience of successful resection of hepatoblastoma after concurrent radiotherapy with transarterial chemoinfusion in a child. We believe this modality of treatment enables complete resection of unresectable hepatoblastoma. which is resistant to the systemic chemotherapy.
