Hepatoblastoma (HEP) is the most frequent liver malignancy occurring in childhood. Surgical resection currently represents the gold standard for treatment. In patients with initially unresectable tumors, chemotherapy may induce remarkable reductions in size. In nonresponder patients, liver transplantation (OLTx) may offer a chance of cure.

In patients with initially unresectable tumors, chemotherapy may induce remarkable reductions in size. In nonresponder patients, liver transplantation (OLTx) may offer a chance of cure.
