Core Tip |
Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common primary liver tumor in children. Between one-third to two-thirds of patients present with unresectable tumors or distant metastases, but up to 85% of these tumors become operable after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Liver transplantation is the only treatment option for unresectable HB. In 2010 the pediatric end-stage liver disease scoring system began to award additional “exception” points for patients with HB. We analyzed the Standard Transplant Analysis and Research dataset and found that patients who were listed for transplantation with current HB exception criteria experienced a shorter waitlist time but survival was similar between the two eras. |
