Abstract
For patients with hepatoblastoma (HB), current staging system is not accurate in predicting survival outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop two accurate survival prediction models to guide clinical decision making. A retrospective analysis of 424 HB patients was performed from 2004 to 2015 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen for variables. The identified variables were used to build survival prediction model. The performance of the nomogram models was assessed based on the concordance index (C-index), calibration plot, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The Cox regression analysis identified six variables affecting overall survival (OS) in HB patients, including race, tumor size, lymph node involvement, distant metastases, surgery and chemotherapy. And the Cox regression analysis identified five variables including race, lymph node involvement, distant metastases, surgery, and chemotherapy that affect cancer-specific survival (CCS) in HB patients. In the training cohort, the C-index of the nomogram in predicting the OS was 0.791 [95% confidence intervals (95% CI) 0.717-0.865], CSS was 0.805(95% CI 0.728-0.882). In the validation cohort, the C-index of the nomogram in predicting the OS was 0.712 (95% CI 0.511-0.913), the CSS was 0.751 (95% CI 0.566-0.936). In the training cohort, the area under the receiver operator characteristics curve (AUC) values of the nomogram in prediction of the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 0.842 (95% CI 0.739-0.944), 0.759 (95% CI 0.670-0.849), and 0.770 (95% CI 0.686-0.852), respectively. In the validation cohort, the AUC values for prediction of the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 0.920 (95% CI 0.806-1.034), 0.863 (95% CI 0.750-0.976), and 0.844 (95% CI 0.721-0.967), respectively. Two nomogram models were developed and validated in this study which provided accurate prediction of the OS and CSS in HB patients. The constructed models can be used for predicting survival outcomes and guide treatment for HB patients.

Abstract
Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common liver malignancy in children, accounting for approximately 60 % of liver tumors in this population. However, the exact cause of HB remains unclear. The combination of surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy has significantly improved the overall survival rate of children with HB, increasing it from 40 % in the past to over 70 %. The concept of precise hepatectomy, which aims to achieve the best rehabilitation outcomes with minimal trauma and maximum liver protection, has been widely accepted by hepatobiliary surgeons. This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent advancements in surgical treatment of HB, focusing on digital surgery and minimally invasive techniques.

Abstract
Malignant focal liver lesions (FLLs) are commonly reported in adults but rarely seen in the pediatric population. Due to the rarity, the understanding of these diseases is still very limited. In children, most malignant FLLs are congenital. It is very important to choose appropriate imaging examination concerning various factors. This paper will outline common pediatric malignant FLLs, including hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma and discuss them against the background of the latest knowledge on comparable/similar tumors in adults. Medical imaging features are of vital importance for the non-invasive diagnosis and follow-up of treatment of FLLs in pediatric patients. The use of CEUS in pediatric patients for characterizing those FLLs that remain indeterminate on conventional B mode ultrasounds may be an effective option in the future and has great potential to be integrated into imaging algorithms without the risk of exposure to ionizing radiation.

Zheng C, Ye S, Liu W, Diao M, Li L. Prognostic value of systemic inflammation response index in hepatoblastoma patients receiving preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1276175. [PMID: 37901310 PMCID: PMC10613067 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1276175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Inflammation is closely associated with tumor development and patient prognosis. The objective of this study is to assess the prognostic value of the preoperative inflammatory indexes in pediatric hepatoblastoma patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical and pathological data of 199 hepatoblastoma patients who underwent hepatectomy with preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy from January 2015 to June 2020. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in predicting OS and EFS. Patients were grouped based on optimal cutoff values of preoperative inflammatory indexes. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival outcomes were compared between groups using the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to identify independent prognostic factors, and a nomogram was constructed using R software to predict the probability of OS. Results The receiver operating characteristic curve showed prognostic value for OS, not EFS, in preoperative inflammatory indexes. Patients were categorized into low/high groups: SII ≤ 266.70/higher, NLR ≤ 1.24/higher, PLR ≤ 85.25/higher, and SIRI ≤ 0.72/higher. High NLR, PLR, SII, and SIRI groups had significantly lower 5-year OS than their low counterparts (all p-value < 0.05). The Cox analysis identified four independent prognostic factors: SIRI (HR=2.997, 95% CI: 1.119-8.031), microvascular invasion (HR=2.556, 95% CI: 1.14-5.73), the post-treatment extent of disease (POSTTEXT) staging (IV vs. I: HR=244.204, 95% CI:11.306-5274.556), and alpha-fetoprotein (>100 ng/ml: HR=0.11, 95% CI: 0.032-0.381) for hepatoblastoma patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. High SIRI group had more patients with adverse NLR, SII, and POSTTEXT III (all p-value < 0.05). Independent prognostic factors led to an OS nomogram with a concordance index of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78-0.91, p-value = 1.43e-27) and the calibration curve showed a good fit between the prediction curve and the true curve. Conclusions SIRI is an independent prognostic factor of hepatoblastoma patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The OS nomogram based on SIRI, POSTTEXT staging, MiVI, and AFP can be used to assess the prognosis of those patients.
