Retinoblastoma is the most common paediatric ocular tumour, which appears in the retina. Without treatment, retinoblastoma grows and destroys the internal ocular globe architecture, even leading to metastasis. When treated, overall survival is close to 97%, the alkylating drug melphalan being the most extensively used chemotherapeutic agent in localised treatment. The aim of this study is to describe the implementation of a new intravitreal chemotherapy retinoblastoma treatment protocol for children implanting vitreous seeds through intravitreal melphalan injections and to evaluate the patients' health outcomes treated with it. Between December 2014 and July 2018, seven patients were treated with this protocol. They received a mean of 3.3 cycles of intravitreal melphalan with standard doses of 30 mcg per cycle. In the seven eyes treated in our hospital, the response was as expected; three eyes with vitreous seedings (43%) were successfully treated. The main adverse effects presented by all patients were scars at cryogenisation points. In two patients, the appearance of 'salt and pepper' retinopathy was reported. Oncology pharmacists, as part of the treatment team, can provide information about recommended doses, expected adverse effects, stability of preparations, most appropriate method of processing, packaging, and methods of drug administration, to ensure efficacy and especially safety in the administration of these drugs.

“…Tumor characteristics of RB patients in this study were mostly similar to those reported by prior studies in tertiary centers. 8 19 20 21 Survival rates for eyes treated with IAC after recurrence/incomplete response with primary systemic chemotherapy were marginally lower in this study (51.4%) relative to those in prior studies. For instance, Shields et al reported 62% globe salvage for secondary treated eyes 8 and Gobin et al reported 58.4% globe salvage for eyes that failed to respond to systemic chemotherapy prior to IAC.…”

Five-year experience in treatment of retinoblastoma with intra-arterial chemotherapy: A single-center analysis

Purpose: To report our 5-year experience in treating retinoblastoma (RB) with intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) as a primary or secondary therapy, without adjuvant intravitreal chemotherapy. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 70 eyes with intraocular RB that were treated with primary or secondary IAC from December 2010-2015. Demographic characteristics, clinical features, tumor control, and treatment complications were compared and reported. Results: Thirty-seven eyes had received IAC as a secondary therapy after failed/incomplete response to systemic chemotherapy, and 33 eyes had received IAC as a primary treatment. The mean age of patients was 25 ± 8.9 months, and the patients were followed for a mean of 24.5 ± 16.26 months. Overall, enucleation rates were significantly higher in advanced tumors (Group D and E) in both groups (both P < 0.05). The main reason for enucleation in this study group was being unresponsive to treatment (27.4%), with 76% of latter patients having vitreous seeds at the time of enucleation. Enucleation rates did not differ significantly between patients receiving primary (18/33, 54%) or secondary IAC (18/37, 48%) ( P = 0.06). In addition, recurrence and complication rates did not differ significantly between eyes receiving IAC as their primary or secondary treatment ( P > 0.05). Conclusion: In primary and secondary treatment of RB with IAC, the main findings that are globe salvage, recurrence, and complication rates were comparable when no adjuvant intravitreal chemotherapy was used.
