Patient's question:
Our family has a relative's child who has been diagnosed with hepatoblastoma. I want to know if this disease is relatively difficult to treat and whether it is still possible to save the child if they have this condition.Doctor's answer:
Hello friend. Hepatoblastoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver's embryonic tissue, mostly occurring in infants under the age of three. The clinical characteristics of this disease include gradual abdominal enlargement, palpable masses in the upper abdomen, as well as symptoms such as reduced appetite and weight loss. If treated promptly and the prognosis is significantly improved, the two-year survival rate can reach over 80%.
