Question
A large irregular-shaped tumor was found in the right liver, with enlargement of lymph nodes beside the abdominal aorta, and no fluid in the abdominal and pelvic cavity. The diagnosis is advanced hepatoblastoma. Inquire about the causes and treatment options.
Answer
The primary treatment for advanced hepatoblastoma is surgical resection. For inoperable lesions in stage one, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a new non-invasive treatment method. It utilizes the physical properties of ultrasound to heat and destroy tumor tissue, with minimal impact on surrounding normal tissue. It offers advantages such as accurate localization, no trauma, and no radiation contamination. Its efficacy has been proven to be significant.
