ASRS 40th Annual Meeting
Clinical Features in Advanced Retinoblastoma: High-Risk Pathology and Metastatic Death
Paul Finger, MD, FACS
In a presentation for ASRS, Dr. Finger presents eye cancer supported research involving retrospective, international, multicenter analysis of 2190 RB patients investigating whether clinical features and tumor size can predict high-risk pathological features (HRPF) and thus risk of metastatic death. The data showed that both higher American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) RB staging cT3 subcategories and larger AJCC-Ophthalmic Oncology Task Force (OOTF) size groups showed highly statistically significant association with HRPF.
Clinical features and tumor size can predict risk of metastatic death from RB. Primary enucleation is associated with better survival outcomes in patients with high-risk clinical and pathologic features.
