Data were analyzed regarding microscopic surgical resection margin, tumor multifocality and extracapsular tumor extension in correlation with local recurrence. These relations were assessed by logistic regression.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The study included 133 patients with a median age of 1.3 years (range: 0.5\u201312.8 years). They were classified into 99 cases (74.44%) standard risk and 34 cases (25.56%) high risk. Delayed surgical resection was adopted in all patients. Follow-up to July 2019 revealed that 23 patients (23\/133, 17.3%) developed local recurrence, whereas the remaining 110 were locally disease free. Microscopic positive margin (R1) was detected in 29 patients, 8 of them had local recurrence (p\u2009=\u20090.097). Regarding tumor multifocality, there were 12 patients who had multifocal lesions, 3 of them developed local recurrence (p\u2009=\u20090.459). Forty-four patients had extracapsular tumor extension in their pathological reports, 12 of them had local recurrence (p\u2009=\u20090.032).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Extracapsular tumor extension was a significant prognostic factor of local recurrence after surgical resection of HB. R1 margin does not necessarily require a second resection, and it could achieve accepted results when combined with adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. However, patients who are not eligible for surgical resection must be transferred for primary transplantation to obtain favorable outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1717087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]],"date-time":"2020-09-19T22:34:03Z","timestamp":1600554843000},"page":"432-438","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Surgical
