REZUMAT

Deşi frecvenţa hepatoblastomului este redusă, acesta reprezintă cea mai comună tumoră hepatică primară malignă a copilului. Prognosticul bolii s-a îmbunătăţit considerabil în ultimele decenii, datorită progreselor terapeutice oncologice şi chirurgicale. Totuşi, tumorile aflate într-un stadiu avansat la momentul diagnosticului au în continuare un prognostic rezervat. Prezentăm cazul unui copil de 2 ani şi 9 luni, diagnosticat în februarie 2014 cu hepatoblastom, cu risc înalt (metastaze pulmonare), pentru care s-a intervenit chirurgical practicându-se excizia completă a tumorii. Ulterior, s-a iniţiat chimioterapie conform protocolului SIOPEL-4 modificat: astfel, blocurile de chimioterapie care ar fi trebuit administrate preoperator au fost utilizate postoperator. După finalizarea chimioterapiei, examenul CT toraco-abdominal efectuat în septembrie 2014 a indicat răspuns complet al bolii la tratament. Evaluarea periodică a pacientului a relevat până în prezent absenţa semnelor de recidivă locală tumorală, absenţa metastazelor şi un status de performanţă de 80 pe scala Lansky. Utilizarea terapiilor moleculare ţintite, a transplantului hepatic şi a unor noi chimioterapice poate reprezenta în viitor o modalitate de îmbunătăţire a prognosticului pacienţilor cu hepatoblastom cu risc înalt. De asemenea, modificarea protocoalelor de chimioterapie ar putea reprezenta o opţiune pentru îndeplinirea acestui scop.

Cuvinte cheie: metastaze pulmonare, protocol SIOPEL-4, răspuns tumoral complet.

UPDATES ON THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PEDIATRIC HEPATOBLASTOMA WITH PULMONARY METASTASES

ABSTRACT

Although the frequency of hepatoblastoma is low, it is the most common primary malignant liver tumor in children. The prognosis of the disease has improved considerably in the last decades due to oncological and surgical treatment advances. Nonetheless, tumors which are diagnosed at an advanced stage still have a poor prognosis. We present the case of a 33-month-old child, diagnosed with high-risk hepatoblastoma (pulmonary metastases) in February 2014. Surgery was performed and the tumor completely removed. Afterwards, chemotherapy treatment was initiated according to a modified SIOPEL-4 protocol – the chemotherapy blocks which should have been administered before surgery were received after the operation. After finishing the chemotherapy, the thoraco-abdominal CT scan indicated a complete response to treatment. The periodic evaluation of the patient revealed the absence of local tumor recurrence, the absence of metastases, and a Lansky performance status of 80 up to now. The administration of targeted molecular therapies, liver transplant, and new chemotherapy drugs could improve the prognosis for patients with high risk hepatoblastoma in the future. Also, modifying the chemotherapy protocols could be considered an option in the achievement of this goal.

Keywords: pulmonary metastases, SIOPEL-4 protocol, complete tumor response.
