Prognosis
The 5-year survival rate of children with hepatoblastoma is approximately 70%.[1]
Factors that Affect Prognosis (chance of recovery) and Treatment Options
Stage I: Up to 100%
Stage II: 75-80%
Stage III: 65%
Stage IV: 0-27%
- The 5-year survival rate of children with hepatoblastoma is approximately 70%.
- The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
- The stage of the cancer (the size of the tumor
- Whether it affects part or all of the liver
- Whether it has spread to other places in the body, such as the lungs).
- Whether the cancer can be removed completely by surgery.
- The type of liver cancer (hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular).
- Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred.
- Prognosis may also depend on:
- Certain features of the cancer cell (determined microscopically).
- Whether the AFP blood levels go down after chemotherapy is initiated.
