This study on retinoblastoma treatment achieved a 96% survival rate in 74 patients over 19 years. Combined therapies for bilateral retinoblastoma and enucleation for unilateral cases proved highly effective.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor of the retina.
  • Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for patient survival and vision preservation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the treatment outcomes and survival rates for retinoblastoma patients.
  • To assess the efficacy of combined treatment modalities for bilateral retinoblastoma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 74 retinoblastoma patients diagnosed between 1967 and 1987.
  • Treatment involved enucleation, supervoltage irradiation, cryocoagulation, and photocoagulation.
  • Follow-up ranged from 1 month to 19 years.

Main Results:

  • Overall survival rate of 96% (71 of 74 patients).
  • Two-year survival rate of 95.5% (65 of 68 patients).
  • Successful management of bilateral retinoblastoma using a combined approach.

Conclusions:

  • The implemented treatment strategy for retinoblastoma demonstrates high efficacy and survival rates.
  • Combined therapy for bilateral retinoblastoma is effective.
  • Continued follow-up is essential for managing retinoblastoma patients.
