What is hepatoblastoma?

Also known as: Pediatric hepatoblastoma, childhood liver cancer.

A hepatoblastoma is a rare tumor that grows from the cells of the liver. It’s the most common of liver cancers in childhood, occurring during the first 18 months of life (infants to 5 years of age), in mostly white children, boys, and those born prematurely of low birth weight.
