Clinical features and a prognostic nomogram based on the SEER database for hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and embryonal sarcoma among children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hepatoblastoma (HB), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and embryonal sarcoma (ES) are the three main types of liver tumors in children and adolescents. At present, epidemiological knowledge and predictors of these three liver tumor types in multi-ethnic populations are limited. This study aimed to outline the clinical features and construct a prognostic nomogram for these tumors, which can contribute to the prediction of dynamic overall survival probability during the follow-up period.

Methods

A total of 1,122 patients liver tumor patients between 2000 to 2019 in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were enrolled for the current study, and separated into 824 HB, 219 HCC, and 79 ES according to the type of pathology. Independent prognostic fact
