Abstract:
Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor and treatment should be started as soon as possible. Currently, the most common approach combines local therapy with chemotherapy. Chemoreduction represents a significant advance in the treatment of retinoblastoma. This paper presents treatment approaches including local chemotherapy, intraarterial and intravitreous chemiotheraphy. retinoblastoma, chemotherapy chemoreduction, brachytherapy, thermotherapy, laser photocoagulation, proton radiotherapy, teleradiotherapy, intraarterial chemotherapy.

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
