This phase III trial studies the side effects and how well risk-based therapy works in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed liver cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy drugs (cancer fighting medicines), and when necessary, liver transplant, are the main current treatments for hepatoblastoma. The stage of the cancer is one factor used to decide the best treatment. Treating patients according to the risk group they are in may help get rid of the cancer, keep it from coming back, and decrease the side effects of chemotherapy.

- eligibility Criteria
- Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be newly diagnosed with histologically-proven hepatoblastoma * In emergency situations when a patient meets all other eligibility criteria and has had baseline required observations, but is too ill to undergo a biopsy safely, the patient may be enrolled on AHEP0731 without a biopsy * Clinical situations in which such emergent treatment may be indicated include, but are not limited to, the following circumstances: * Anatomic or mechanical compromise of critical organ function by tumor (e.g., respiratory distress/failure, abdominal compartment syndrome, urinary obstruction, etc) * Uncorrectable coagulopathy * For a patient to maintain eligibility for AHEP0731 when emergent treatment is given, the following must occur: * The patient must have a clinical diagnosis of hepatoblastoma, including an elevated alpha fetoprotein, and must meet all AHEP0731 eligibility criteria at the time of emergent treatment * Patient must be enrolled on AHEP0731 prior to initiating protocol therapy; a patient will be ineligible if any chemotherapy is administered prior to AHEP0731 enrollment * If the patient receives AHEP0731 chemotherapy PRIOR to undergoing a diagnostic biopsy, pathologic review of material obtained in the future during either biopsy or surgical resection must either confirm the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma or not reveal another pathological diagnosis to be included in the analysis of the study aims * Patients will be staged for risk classification and treatment at diagnosis using Children's Oncology Group (COG) staging guidelines * At the time of study enrollment, the patient's treatment regimen must be identified; if the patient's primary tumor was resected prior to the day of enrollment and a blood specimen for the determination of serum alpha fetoprotein was not obtained prior to that surgery, the patient will be considered to have alpha fetoprotein of greater than 100 ng/mL for the purpose of treatment assignment; if tumor samples obtained prior to the date of enrollment were not sufficient to determine whether small cell undifferentiated (SCU) histology was present, treatment assignment will be made assuming SCU is not present in the tumor * For patients with stage I or II disease, specimens for rapid central review have been submitted and the rapid central review diagnosis and staging must be available to be provided on the AHEP0731 eligibility case report form (CRF) * Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores 0, 1, or 2; use Karnofsky for patients \> 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =\< 16 years of age * Patients may have had surgical resection of some or all sites of hepatoblastoma prior to enrollment * Organ function requirements are not required for enrolled patients who are stage I, PFH and will not be receiving chemotherapy * Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 70 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 OR serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows: * 1 month to \< 6 months: 0.4 mg/dL * 6 months to \< 1 year: 0.5 mg/dL * 1 to \< 2 years: 0.6 mg/dL * 2 to \< 6 years: 0.8 mg/dL * 6 to \< 10 years: 1 mg/dL * 10 to \< 13 years: 1.2 mg/dL * 13 to \< 16 years: 1.5 mg/dL (male) or 1.4 mg/dL (female) * \>= 16 years: 1.7 mg/dL (male) or 1.4 mg/dL (female) * Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age * Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) (aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\]) or serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\]) \< 10 x ULN for age * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 750/uL * Platelet count \> 75,000/uL * Shortening fraction \>= 27% by echocardiogram * Ejection fraction \>= 47% by radionuclide angiogram (multi gated acquisition scan \[MUGA\]); Note: the echocardiogram (or MUGA) may be done within 28 days prior to enrollment * Serum triglyceride level =\< 300 mg/dL (=\< 3.42 mmol/L) * Serum cholesterol level =\< 300 mg/dL (7.75 mmol/L) * Random or fasting blood glucose within the upper normal limits for age;

- This phase III trial studies the side effects and how well risk-based therapy works in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed liver cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy drugs (cancer fighting medicines), and when necessary, liver transplant, are the main current treatments for hepatoblastoma.

- detailed Description
- PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the event-free survival (EFS) in children with stage I (non-pure fetal histology \[PFH\], non-small cell undifferentiated \[SCU\]) and stage II (non-SCU) hepatoblastoma treated with surgical resection followed by 2 cycles of cisplatin, fluorouracil, and vincristine sulfate (C5V). II. To determine the feasibility and toxicity of adding doxorubicin (doxorubicin hydrochloride) to the chemotherapy regimen of C5V for children with intermediate-risk hepatoblastoma. III. To estimate the response rate to vincristine (vincristine sulfate), irinotecan (irinotecan hydrochloride), and temsirolimus in previously untreated children with high-risk, metastatic hepatoblastoma. IV. To determine whether timely (between diagnosis and end of second cycle of chemotherapy) consultation with a treatment center with surgical expertise in major pediatric liver resection and transplant can be achieved in 70% of patients with potentially unresectable hepatoblastoma. V. To foster the collection of tumor tissue and biologic samples to facilitate translational research and to provide data that may aid in risk-adapted approaches for subsequent clinical trials. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the EFS of patients with stage I PFH treated with surgery alone. II. To determine whether orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) can be accomplished after successful referral and completion of 4 cycles of initial chemotherapy. III. To estimate the 2-year EFS for patients once identified as candidates for possible OLT, the 2-year EFS for patients referred to a transplant center that are resected without OLT, and the 2-year EFS for patients referred to a transplant center who receive OLT. IV. To register children with hepatoblastoma who receive OLT with PLUTO (Pediatric Liver Unresectable Tumor Observatory), an international cooperative registry for children transplanted for liver tumors. V. To determine if pretreatment extent of disease (PRETEXT) grouping can predict tumor resectability. VI. To monitor the concordance between institutional assessment of PRETEXT grouping and PRETEXT grouping as performed by expert panel review. VII. To estimate the proportion of stage IV patients who have surgical resection of metastatic pulmonary lesions. VIII. To determine the proportion and estimate the EFS of patients with potentially poor prognostic factors including alpha fetoprotein (AFP) \< 100 ng/mL at diagnosis, microscopic positive surgical margins, surgical complications, multifocal tumors, microscopic vascular invasion, macrotrabecular histologic subtype, and SCU histologic subtype. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups according to risk group. VERY LOW-RISK GROUP: Patients undergo surgery and receive no further treatment. LOW-RISK GROUP: (regimen T) Patients undergo surgery and then receive adjuvant cisplatin intravenously (IV) over 6 hours on day 1, fluorouracil IV over 2-4 minutes on day 2, and vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on days 2, 9, and 16. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. INTERMEDIATE-RISK GROUP: (regimen F) (closed to accrual as of 3/12/2012) Patients receive C5VD chemotherapy comprising cisplatin IV over 6 hours on day 1, fluorouracil IV over 2-4 minutes on day 2, vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on days 2, 9, and 16, and doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes on days 1-2. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo surgical resection after course 2 OR surgical resection or liver transplantation after course 4 of C5VD. Patients may also receive dexrazoxane IV over 5-15 minutes on days 1-2 of courses 5 and 6. HIGH-RISK GROUP: (regimen W) (regimen W replaced by regimen H as of Amendment 3B) Patients receive up front VI chemotherapy comprising vincristine sulfate IV on days 1 and 8 and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment with VI repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with disease response then receive 6 courses of C5VD with 1 courses of VI in between each 2-course block. Patients with no disease response receive 6 courses of C5VD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. HIGH-RISK GROUP: (regimen H) Patients receive up front VIT chemotherapy comprising vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on days 1 and 8 and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes on days 1-5, and temsirolimus IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment with VIT repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with disease response then receive 6 courses of C5VD with 4 courses of VIT in between each 2-course block. Patients with no disease response receive 6 courses of C5VD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo tumor resection or liver transplant after course 4 of C5VD followed by 2 courses of adjuvant C5VD. Patients may also receive dexrazoxane IV over 5-15 minutes on days 1-2 of courses 5 and 6. After completion of study therapy, patients who receive chemotherapy are followed up periodically for at least 4 years.
