- Active substance
- chemotherapy (cisplatin, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this trial could identify safer and more effective chemotherapy combinations for children with hepatoblastoma, potentially improving survival rates for high-risk cases.
