Retinoblastoma and vision

Abstract: The assessment of vision has a growing importance in the management of retinoblastoma in the era of globe-conserving therapy, both prior to and after treatment. As survival rates approach 98–99% and globe salvage rates reach ever-higher levels, it is important to provide families with information regarding the visual outcomes of different treatments. We present an overview of the role of vision in determining the treatment given and the impact of complications of treatment. We also discuss screening and treatm… Show more

“…The two most cited papers on the list were on secondary tumors, highlighting the long-term ramifications of using radiation as a treatment for Rb patients and the need for follow-up into later life [ 20 , 21 ]. These studies are becoming more relevant as Rb patient survival increases and secondary tumors develop [ 22 ]. Furthermore, advances in radiology are being made to prevent high doses of radiation in these patients.…”

“…[ 3 ] The therapies of RB mainly include intravenous chemotherapy, intra‐arterial chemotherapy, and Laser. [ 4 ] With the continuous progress of diagnosis and treatment of RB, the RB survival rate has prominently ameliorated. [ 5 ] However, RB's susceptibility to metastasis and resistance to chemotherapy increases the risk of blindness and death in patients.…”

“…Such cells eventually stop growing and become mature retinal cells. Sometimes instead of maturing, a few retinoblasts keep on growing uncontrollably, resulting in RB, a form of cancer [2]. Fig.…”
