Context: Types of treatment for childhood undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver
Treatment of newly diagnosed childhood undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver may include:
surgery to remove the tumor
chemotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both
liver transplant if surgery to remove the tumor is not possible
If the first surgery is unable to remove the entire tumor, a second surgery may be done to remove the remaining tumor cells.
Sometimes childhood undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver continues to grow or recurs (comes back) after treatment. The cancer may come back in the liver or in other parts of the body. Your child's doctor will work with you to plan treatment if your child is diagnosed with recurrent undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver.
