Surgical outcomes of liver resection for hepatoblastoma in infants versus older children: A bi-centric, propensity-score-matched, comparative study
Liver resection for HB in infants does not appear to carry higher surgical risks compared to older children. These findings support an aggressive surgical approach when indicated, emphasizing the importance of specialized multidisciplinary care. Further prospective studies are needed to refine surgical strategies in this unique patient population.
