Clinical Characteristics, Treatment, and Prognosis of Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma of the Liver in Children: A retrospective study from four hospitals in China

In brief

This retrospective multicenter study examines undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL), a rare aggressive malignancy in children. The research analyzes clinical presentations, treatment approaches, and outcomes across four Chinese hospitals to inform diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this challenging pediatric liver tumor.

• - UESL is a rare, aggressive pediatric liver malignancy requiring high clinical suspicion for timely diagnosis. - Multi-institutional data from China provides evidence-based insights for managing this uncommon tumor. - Complete surgical resection remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for UESL in children. - Chemotherapy plays a critical role in improving outcomes, particularly in advanced or unresectable cases. - Prognosis varies significantly; early detection and aggressive multimodal therapy improve survival rates.
