Abstract
Retinoblastoma (RB), the most common intraocular malignancy in children, was historically treated with definitive external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Over the last 15 years, chemoreduction with intensive focal therapy has been shown to achieve excellent control while avoiding radiation-induced morbidity and mortality (due to secondary malignancy). However in the setting of residual disease after enucleation or diffuse vitreous or subretinal seeding, EBRT still plays an important role. We evaluated our institutional long term outcomes for advanced stage RB in the setting of modern treatment techniques.
