Risk for Metastatic Death from Retinoblastoma was Related to Presenting Clinical Features in a Multi-center Registry-based Study
High-Risk Pathology Based on Presenting Features in Advanced Intraocular Retinoblastoma: A Multicenter, International Data-Sharing AJCC Study.
Retinoblastoma, the most common primary eye cancer in children, is much more common in Asia and Africa. Though curable at early stages, most children in those continents present with an advanced form of the disease. The Eye Cancer Foundation helped support a multi-center, international study to help eye cancer specialists decide if a cancerous eye should be salvaged or removed to save the child’s life. Specifically, this research showed that aggressive attempts to save high-risk eyes can decrease the child’s chances for survival; particularly in countries where treatment for metastatic disease is lacking.
