Overview
Hepatoblastoma is a common tumor that tends to affect children aged less than five years. Males are more commonly affected with hepatoblastoma than females. The annual incidence of hepatoblastoma in the United States appears to have doubled from 8 (1975-1983) to 16 (2002-2009) per 100,000 children aged 19 years and younger.
Epidemiology and demographics
Prevalence
- Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary liver cancer in infants and children, tumor involves right lobe of liver more often.[1]
- Hepatic tumors represent approximately 0.5-2% of all the tumors in children and are responsible for 1-4% of all the solid tumors.[2][3][4]
- The incidence/prevalence of hepatoblastoma is approximately 0.05–0.15 patients per 100000 population in children younger than 15 years.[5]
- Peak incidence means of 18 months, mostly in infants and children younger than 3 years old, with a male predilection.
- Hepatoblastoma accounts for one percent of all primary malignancies in pediatrics.
Incidence
- The annual incidence of hepatoblastoma in the United States appears to have doubled from 8 (1975-1983) to 16 (2002-2009) per 100,000 children aged 19 years and younger.[6]
Age
- Hepatoblastoma commonly affects children less than five years of age.[3]
- Approximately 90% of the cases occur among patients under 5 years of age and two-thirds of cases occur in the first 2 years of life. [6]
- Hepatoblastoma among adolescents and young adults is extremely rare.[2]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with hepatoblastoma than females.[4]
