Slide2Primary Hepatic tumor is Rare - only 1-2% of all childhood cancers
Hepatoblastoma & hepatocellular carcinoma are the two most common malignancies that arise de novo in the liverHepatic tumors have a wide geographic variation in incidence: They are seen more frequently in Asian and African childre They are the third most common abdominal cancer in Japan.

Slide21Slide22Conventional arteriographyNewer modalities for extent of hepatic involvement by tumor and its
proximity to the portal vein Transarterial chemoembolization is a therapeutic consideration. Ultrasound in conjunction with color Doppler, a noninvasive modality, is especially useful in young infants
Slide23hepatoblastoma usually affects one or more contiguous liver segments. Occasionally, the tumor can be multifocal.
This presents a surgical challenge & liver transplantation may be required.
Slide24MetastasesHepatoblastoma, Right lobe of the liver is more commonly
involved than LeftTumor involves both lobes in 30% of patientsMetastases at diagnoses occur in 10%-20% of patients lung being the predominant site 10-20% of patients with hepatic tumors have pulmonary metastases

plays
an important role, not only in
eradicating subclinical
metastases
in
completely resected disease
,
but
also may allow unresectable disease to become resectableTranscatheter arterial chemoembolization
Slide39Timing of surgeryIn the United States;
Initial surgical resection in appropriate patients is preferred The European approach is different; Patients are staged by PRETEXT and neoadjuvant chemotherapy is administered prior to surgery to all patients except PRETEXT stage 1Surgery is recommended
for
limited metastatic disease
(especially in
lung
)
This surgery is often done at time of liver
tumor resection
Slide40Classic reasons for unresectable ;Extremely large tumor that may lead to excessive
bleeding Involvement of both the right and left lobesInvolvement of major hepatic veins or the inferior vena cava (IVC) Diffuse multifocal diseaseOnly 30% have been
considered
resectable
at
diagnosis
In the
unresectable
patient
Biopsy should be performed
Slide41Surgical BiopsyDiagnostic surgical biopsy is strongly recommended ;
Children <6 months ,Wide range of possible tumours presenting at this age Possible confounding effect of a physiologically elevated AFP level Children older > 3 years of age, to distinguish hepatoblastoma from hepatocellular carcinomaAll patients with a normal serum AFP
Slide42BiopsyBiopsy may not be necessary for young children (6 months to 3 years) with a very high AFP level
Avoiding a biopsy theoretically reduces the risks of tumor seeding or disseminationThe Japanese Study Group for Pediatric Liver Tumors (JPLT) strongly recommends that liver tumors of children should be treated after definitive diagnosis of a biopsy specimen, except in urgent life threatening circumstances such as tumor invasion of the right atrium or tumor rupture Pediatric hepatoblastoma: diagnosis and treatmentTransl

Slide45Radical hepatic resection results in many potential postoperative complications:• Hypovolemia• Hypoglycemia• Hypo albuminemia
• Hypo fibrinogenemia and deficiency of coagulation proteins• Hyper bilirubinemia persists for 24 weeks after resectionHepatic regeneration is complete by 13 months post surgery
Slide46Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization Hepatic arterial chemoembolization involves giving chemotherapy and
vascular occlusive agents via catheter into the artery supplying the tumorCryoablation, and more recently radiofrequency ablation, have also been used in the treatment of liver tumors in adults with little experience in children
Slide47ABLATION THERAPY Tumors are destroyed using
;Heat (Radiofrequency ablation)Cold (Cryoablation) Chemical agents (Percutaneous ethanol instillation)Ablative therapy is for tumors involving the liver,
kidney
,
lung
and
painful tumors of
bone
The
goal of ablative therapy is
complete tumor destructionAblative therapy is an alternative to surgical resection and appropriate primarily for patients with four or fewer tumors limited to the liver
Slide48RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATIONGeneration of heat to destroy the
tumorExposure of both normal and cancer cells to heat above 122 F° - 9 up to 14 min. )causes the cells to die, resulting in cellular destructionSound waves to interact with molecules in the tumor, causing them to vibrate and generate heatEnergy is delivered through a

Muscle ache Low grade fever Rarely Liver injury in the form of bleeding leakage of liver fluid (bile) Heat damage to surrounding organs ,the gall bladder or bowelLung surrounds the liver may be lung injury or collapse
Slide51Success is influenced ;Tumor size, as larger tumors are more difficult to completely eradicate than smaller
onesTumor location adjacent to flowing blood initial treatment did not destroy all of the tumor, the procedure may be repeatedDestroys very little normal liver Radiofrequency ablation

procedures or

Slide52CRYOABLATIONIce ball with subzero temperatures is created by circulating liquid nitrogen in a probe that is directly inserted into the tumor

Slide53PERCUTANEOUS ETHANOL INSTILLATIONAlcohol destroys cells on contact through destruction of their lining membranes
More treatment sessions Slightly less effectiveoften employed in conjunction with radiofrequency ablation to enhance the success of the procedure. Vascular Interventional Radiology of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and the UMDNJ- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
Slide54Combination chemotherapy plays several roles in the management:Adjuvant therapy for patients who have undergone complete resection, its use
improves disease-free survivalPreoperative therapy for patients who have initially unresectable disease to shrink the primary tumor Palliative therapy for patients with metastatic disease at diagnosisThe outcome of high risk hepatoblastomas with multi focally disseminating growth in the liver, invasion of large vessels, extrahepatic extension and metastases is still poor,
especially since these tumors often rapidly develop resistance against cytotoxic
drugs

Slide55Patients are assigned to the following risk groups(COG):
Very low-risk:Grossly resected tumors (stage I) with PFH & an elevated AFP level > 100 ng/mL Low-risk: Grossly resected tumors (stage I-II) & lacking any unfavorable biologic feature ( any SCU elements or a low diagnostic AFP level < 100 ng/mL)

Slide79toxicity Pure tone audiometry is the method of choice in children older than 3 years of age
If a child starts to show signs of high frequency hearing loss he/she should be followed carefully If grade 3 or 4 ototoxicity is documented, CDDP should be withdrawnBILATERAL HEARING LOSS GRADE Designation

a
possible increase of ototoxicity in patients treated with CARBO and
CDDP
Slide80Renal toxicity Glomerular toxicity Nephrotoxicity of CDDP in children (as in adults) is
dose-related and Plasma creatinine measurements and creatinine clearances are not reliable in childrenCareful measurement of GFR by isotope clearance is essential for accurate monitoring of renal statusTubular toxicity Renal loss of Magnesium and consequent Hypomagnesemia Renal tubulopathy
(careful
monitoring of
electrolytes)
Hypomagnesemia
may
persist years
after stopping therapy
Slide81Bone marrow toxicity; ANC >1000/mm3 platelet count
>100.000/mm3 are necessary before starting chemotherapy with Carboplatin and DoxorubicinIt is better to delay slightly the institution of chemotherapy until these criteria are met, rather than decreasing the doseIf a delay of one or more additional weeks is required, decrease dosage by 25% for the next course only, and use GCSF ANC <
500/mm3
associated with
fever and sepsis
or severe infection and/or severe thrombocytopenia
(< 10.000/mm3 lasting
more than 5 days) associated with bleeding, decrease dosage by 25%
Slide82Cardiotoxicity; Echocardiogram should be performed when the patient is;n
ormothermicnormal haemoglobinis not being hyperhydratedprior to administration of DOXO
Slide83Hepatic toxicity;No standardised criteria exist for the adjustment of DOXO dosage in the presence of hepatic dysfunction
50% reduction of DOXO dosage if Total Bili. > 3 mg/100 ml, +/-AST, ALT) are >5 times the normal value. Neither CARBO nor CDDP doses need to be modified.
