Hepatoblastoma: actual therapeutic strategies. A case report.
Starting from a case report of a six-month-old boy with a hepatoblastoma, we discuss this topic. New virologic and cytogenetic findings in hepatoma are mentioned in the chapter "epidemiology". In "diagnosis" we focus on history, physical examination, echography, conventional RX, the role of CT-scan of abdomen and thorax, of fine needle aspiration, arteriography and magnetic resonance. In "therapy" we emphasize the new therapeutical means: chemotherapy, orthotopic liver transplantation, resection of pulmonary metastases, as well as radiotherapy and immunotargeting chemotherapy. We conclude that surgery still is the cornerstone of treatment, but the new therapeutical means create hopeful perspectives in outcome.
