The treatment of hepatoblastoma is an example of the great advances made in paediatric oncology over the past few decades. Formerly a disease with a dreadful prognosis, children now have a 5-year survival rate of over 70%. This has been achieved by advances in surgical techniques and the use of chemotherapy. In future, we hope to be able to improve survival for children with high-risk tumours, and decrease the morbidity associated with treatment in the others.
肝母细胞瘤的治疗是过去几十年来儿科肿瘤学取得巨大进展的一个例子。以前这种疾病预后很差，而现在儿童的5年生存率超过了70%。这是通过手术技术的进步和化疗的应用实现的。未来，我们希望能够提高高危肿瘤患儿的生存率，并降低其他患儿治疗相关的发病率。
