The 5-year survival rate of children with hepatoblastoma is approximately 70%.[1]
Factors that Affect Prognosis (chance of recovery) and Treatment Options
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and 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, and 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.
