AbstractThe influence of margin status on the survival of patients with hepatoblastoma (HB) remains controversial. Here, we report long-term follow-up outcomes of 26 patients with HB who underwent hepatectomy with positive microscopic margins. Although these patients had microscopic residuals, the 5-year overall survival and event-free survival rates of those who had no metastases or macrovascular involvement (MVI) were 86.7% and 80.8%, respectively. This may support the hypothesis that patients with HB who undergo hepatectomy with positive microscopic residuals but without MVI or metastases can also achieve satisfactory survival rate. Further studies in this field are required.
