    ObjectivesTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of C5V chemotherapy combined with transcatheter subcutaneous radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of children with advanced (stage III/IV) hepatoblastoma.MethodsEighty children with advanced (Stage III/IV) hepatoblastoma were admitted in Hebei Children's Hospital from May 2019 to September 2021 randomly divided into two groups: control group and experimental group, with 40 cases in each group. Children in the control group received C5V chemotherapy, while those in the experimental group received C5V chemotherapy combined with transcatheter subcutaneous radiofrequency ablation. After treatment, the treatment effect, adverse drug reactions, AFP, ALT, AST, HBG and other indicators of the two groups were compared and analyzed. And the difference in survival rate and recurrence rate between the two groups was compared and analyzed.ResultsThe total efficacy of the experimental group was 67.5%, which was significantly better than 45% of the control group (p=0.04). The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the experimental group was 50%, while that in the control group was 35% (p=0.15). After treatment, AFP, ALT and AST in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the HBG was slightly higher than that of the control group (p=0.03). Moreover, the overall survival rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the recurrence rate was significantly lower than that of the control group.ConclusionC5V chemotherapy combined with transcathetal subcutaneous radio fascial ablation is a safe and effective regimen for children with advanced (stage III/IV) hepatoblastoma, boasting definite efficacy and no increase in adverse reactions.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
