What is the prognosis for Stage IV liver cancer in a very small child? - liver cancer in children
Sorry, but 4-port liver cancer.
Hepatoblastoma us a rare cancer and survival rate is very high, but only in the case of surgical resection or transplantation is successful, it would not be a stage 4 disease. Even if the baby is still hepatoblastoma terminal.

Liver cancer is still poor.
Stage IV liver cancer is very poor.
However,
One type of primary liver cancer called hepatoblastoma, usually occurs in children under four years ago at age 12 to 15 years. In contrast to liver cancer in adults, hepatoblastomas have a good chance of being successfully treated. About 70% of children with hepatoblastomas experience complete cures. If the tumor is detected early, the survival rate exceeds 90%.
Good luck.
