CLINICAL FEATURES

Most present with an abdominal mass Most are asymptomatic Thrombocytosis is present in 60% Most sensitive lab test is serum AFP

Elevated in over 90% of hepatoblastomasA nonspecific tumor markerCan be used to monitor chemotherapeutic

efficacy and tumor recurrence

Page 27: Management of hepatoblastoma - SUNY Downstate …€¦ · MANAGEMENT OF HEPATOBLASTOMA. ... Uncomplicated NSVD ... Original SIOPEL study – 5 year EFS for PRETEXT IV tumor was 46%

IMAGING

Ultrasound Well-defined hyperechoic solid lesion Color doppler can be used to assess vascular

involvement CT

Usually reveals a low attenuation mass Can delineate tumor size, location, and regional

adenopathy MRI

Useful for determining relationship to hepatic vasculature and biliary anatomy

Homogenous hypointensity on T1-weighted and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images

CHEMOTHERAPY

Several regimens are available SIOP (Société Internationale d'Oncologie

Pédiatrique) advocates use of cisplatin/doxorubicin regimen

Other regimens include:Cisplatin, vincristine, 5-fluorouracilCisplatin, ifosfamide, doxorubicin

Irinotecan may be considered for refractory or recurrent hepatoblastoma

Randomized prospective trial 182 patients with Stage I-unfavorable to Stage IV disease Randomized to receive (A)cisplatin/vincristine/fluorouracil

or (B)cisplatin/doxorubicin after surgery 5 year event free survival was 57% and 69% (P=0.09) Overall toxicities, were significantly more frequent in

patients who received regimen B

However, there were no cures in Stage IV patients

neutropenia (P <.001),

thrombocytopenia (P <.0001)

anemia (P <.001)

SURGERY

Goal is complete anatomic resectionNon-anatomic resections associated with

higher rate of incomplete resectionType of Resection Liver SegmentsLeft lobectomy II and IIILeft hepatectomy II, III, and IVExtended left hepatectomy II, III, IV, V, and VIIIRight hepatectomy V, VI, VII, and VIIIExtended right hepatectomy IV, V, VI, VII, and VIIICentral hepatectomy IV, V, and VIIISegmentectomy

LIVER TRANSPLANTATION

6% with hepatoblastoma will require liver transplantation

Should be considered when: All four sectors are involved Complete tumor excision by partial hepatectomy

is unlikely due to proximity to vessels Contraindication is presence of extrahepatic

disease after chemotherapy Primary liver transplantation 10 year survival

85% Rescue liver transplantation after primary

partial hepatectomy 5 year survival 30-50%

www.downstatesurgery.org

Page 44: Management of hepatoblastoma - SUNY Downstate …€¦ · MANAGEMENT OF HEPATOBLASTOMA. ... Uncomplicated NSVD ... Original SIOPEL study – 5 year EFS for PRETEXT IV tumor was 46%

SIOPEL-1 study evaluated use of preoperative chemotherapy for HB

138 received chemo, 115 underwent surgery 12 patients received liver transplants

7 primary liver transplants 5 rescue transplants

Overall survival 75% at 5 years, 66% at 10 years For primary transplant 85% For rescue transplant 40%

Meta-analysis of World data and later papers confirmed these findings

Page 45: Management of hepatoblastoma - SUNY Downstate …€¦ · MANAGEMENT OF HEPATOBLASTOMA. ... Uncomplicated NSVD ... Original SIOPEL study – 5 year EFS for PRETEXT IV tumor was 46%

ABLATIVE THERAPIES

For patient who cannot have anatomical resections and are not candidates for transplantation

Types include: Chemoembolization Radiofrequency ablation Percutaneous injection of ethanol Cryoablation

May offer palliation and improve survival but rarely leads to cure

Page 46: Management of hepatoblastoma - SUNY Downstate …€¦ · MANAGEMENT OF HEPATOBLASTOMA. ... Uncomplicated NSVD ... Original SIOPEL study – 5 year EFS for PRETEXT IV tumor was 46%

PROGNOSIS

5 year event free survival

Patients should be followed with AFP levels

Those who had normal AFP levels should be followed with serial imaging

Stage HepatoblastomaI (pure fetal histology) 100% (n = 9)I (other histologic types)

91% (n = 43)

II 100% (n = 7)III 64% (n = 83)IV 25% (n = 40)

SUMMARY

The goal is complete anatomic resection Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for high risk

tumors and unresectable tumors Liver transplant is an option for tumor not

amenable to partial hepatectomy Intensified chemo regimen improves survival

in high risk tumors
