Question
How is pediatric hepatoblastoma diagnosed?
Answer
Pediatric hepatoblastoma is a malignant tumor originating from the embryo, commonly found in infants and young children, and has a significant impact on the child’s health. The diagnostic methods usually include imaging examinations (such as ultrasound, CT, MRI) and histopathological examinations. If hepatoblastoma is suspected, doctors will conduct detailed medical history inquiries, physical examinations, and combine the results of imaging and pathology to make the final diagnosis. Treatment primarily focuses on surgical removal of the tumor, supplemented by radiation therapy and chemotherapy measures. However, these treatment methods are mainly aimed at delaying the progression of the disease and are difficult to cure completely.
