title: [Diagnosis and therapy of hepatoblastoma. Successful treatment of an inoperable hepatoblastoma and review of the literature (author's transl)].
abstract: A review of the literature shows minimal success in relation to the treatment of hepato-blastoma. Recent improvements have been related to better techniques of liver resection. No final therapeutic recommendations can be made but prophylactic chemotherapy is indicated. The authors present a surprisingly successful patient who had a non-resectable hepato-blastoma and who is alive 8 years later without symptoms. In spite of radiotherapy, and chemotherapy there have been no obvious somatic changes which could be attributed to the treatment. The effect of treatment on the gonads is a feature that will have to be considered at a later date.
