Macular Retinoblastoma: Evaluation of Tumor Control, Local Complications, and Visual Outcomes for Eyes Treated with Chemotherapy and Repetitive Foveal Laser Ablation

Regional and Temporal Differences in Gene Expression of LHBETATAGRetinoblastoma Tumors

“…9 Finally, chemoreduction success varies depending on tumor classification, with more advanced eyes achieving tumor control in 47% to 83% of cases. 10,11 As a result, a greater understanding of tumorigenesis is necessary to develop adjuvant therapies to potentially treat tumors that are unresponsive to current treatment protocols and to minimize local and systemic complications of treatment.…”

“…(9,12) Contudo, o estado da doença e os riscos da cirurgia devem ser avaliados individualmente e com rigor. (10,11,15) …”

Visual rehabilitation for retinoblastoma

“…A more recent series reported that 57% of macular tumors treated with chemotherapy and repeat laser ablation retained vision of 20/80 or better. Mean acuity for foveal tumor involvement was 20/100 [2]. Extramacular tumors, on the other hand, maintained vision of 20/25 or better.…”
