Treatment Decision Making at Diagnosis for Children Presenting With Advanced Cancer in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

JCO global oncology·2026

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for curing retinoblastoma. Improving healthcare systems and international collaboration can enhance outcomes for children with retinoblastoma in developing countries.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Retinoblastoma is curable with early diagnosis and treatment, but outcomes are poor in developing countries due to limited resources and healthcare infrastructure.
  • Delayed diagnosis and lack of multidisciplinary care contribute to high mortality and morbidity from retinoblastoma in low-resource settings.
  • A significant disparity exists between ocular salvage rates in Western countries and retinoblastoma-related deaths in developing nations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the disparities in retinoblastoma diagnosis and treatment between developed and developing countries.
  • To foster discussion and collaboration among international experts to improve outcomes for retinoblastoma patients globally.
  • To identify and share strategies for early diagnosis, treatment, and the establishment of specialized retinoblastoma centers in developing countries.

Main Methods:

  • Convened the 'One World, One Vision' symposium, bringing together global clinicians and researchers.
  • Facilitated discussions on strategies for early retinoblastoma detection and the development of treatment centers in resource-limited settings.
  • Highlighted successful international collaborations, including twinning programs between developing and high-income country institutions, and presented global initiatives by NGOs.

Main Results:

  • Identified key challenges in retinoblastoma management in developing countries, including delayed diagnosis and inadequate multidisciplinary care.
  • Emphasized the importance of twinning programs and international partnerships in building capacity for retinoblastoma treatment.
  • Showcased successful global initiatives aimed at improving cancer care for children in underserved regions.

Conclusions:

  • Coordinated efforts involving public administrations and non-profit organizations are essential to improve retinoblastoma diagnosis and treatment.
  • International collaboration and knowledge sharing are critical to overcoming the challenges of managing retinoblastoma in developing countries.
  • Improving outcomes for children with retinoblastoma is achievable through strategic global initiatives and strengthened healthcare systems.
