Attach importance to standardized treatment of retinoblastoma to improve its treatment outcome / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

The treatment for retinoblastoma (RB) has been reached the stage of life-saving and vision-saving care. It is necessary to improve the survival rate and prolong the life time of RB children, retaining the eyeball and improving the quality of life. If the diagnosis is not timely and the treatment is inappropriate, the tumor recurrence, extraocular spread and metastasis of retinoblastoma will occur. The rate of eye protection and the survival chance of RB children will be reduced. With the continuous exploration of RB therapy and the emergence of new treatment methods, how to correctly select and evaluate these treatment methods and to adopt the most safe and effective treatment for RB children, to achieve long-term cure effect, is an important problem which clinicians need to consider.
