About this study
The aim of this study is to retrospectively investigate the effect of combined modality treatment of pediatric hepatoblastoma and the factors affecting the prognosis in accordance with the experience at the pediatric oncology department at South Egypt Cancer Institute.
Read the detailed description
Background:
Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common malignant liver tumor in children, with an incidence of 0.7 to 1 per million children <15 years of age. Till 1970s, surgery was the primary modality of treatment of HB. Unfortunately, up to 60% of the patients present in an unresectable stage. Later, the chemo- responsiveness of the tumor was demonstrated which led to the incorporation of adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatinum and doxorubicin in the treatment of HB. International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) pioneered the concept of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the management of HB.
Patients \& Methods:
In the period from 2002 January till 2016 January, retrieval \& analysis of the medical records of pediatric patients with hepatoblastoma will be made at the pediatric oncology department, South Egypt Cancer Institute which represents the largest referral center in Upper Egypt. After pathologic confirmation of the diagnosis, these data will be categorized according to patients' demographics, presenting features, laboratory studies, including tumor markers \& histologic subtype, radiographic evaluation, disease staging, treatment course given, and subsequent treatment outcomes.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall survival (OS)
Time from the date of initiation of treatment until death from any cause
Measured: Participants will be retrospectively followed forward in time from the date of initiation of treatment till the primary completion date of the study, an expected average of 5 years
Event Free Survival (EFS)
Time from the date of initiation of treatment until disease progression, or death for any reason.
Measured: Participants will be retrospectively followed forward in time from the date of initiation of treatment till the primary completion date of the study, an expected average of 5 years

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall survival (OS) (time frame: Participants will be retrospectively followed forward in time from the date of initiation of treatment till the primary completion date of the study, an expected average of 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
