Abstract
Diagnostic and therapeutic innovations have changed the way we now approach liver tumours in children and adolescents. Novel imaging tools, increasing awareness, and surveillance has led to early diagnosis of benign and malignant liver tumours. Multidisciplinary interventions have favourably altered the natural course in some liver tumours. The role of liver transplantation is expanding and has become fully integrated into today's therapeutic algorithms. Transarterial locoregional and ablation therapies have been successful in adults and are being explored in children to facilitate resectability and improve outcome. For the first time, North American, Japanese, and European experts have designed a global trial to optimize management of malignant liver tumours and aim to find signature molecular profiles that will translate to individualised treatment strategies.This article aims to offer an overview of recent advances in our understanding of liver tumours in children. It focuses on the paediatric hepatologist's view and their role in the multidisciplinary management of benign and malignant liver tumours.
