Statistics of Retinoblastoma
The most important thing to learn from these statistics is that bilateral
disease is genetic, meaning that each off spring has a 50% chance of having
the disease. Unilateral retinoblastoma is most likely a somatic mutation
occurring in the eye and is not hereditary. However it must be understood
that 15% of unilateral cases can be hereditary.
> 85% sporadic
> 15% familial
> 60% unilateral
> 40% bilateral
> 85% of unilateral have somatic mutations, 15% have germinal
> 90% of bilateral have germinal mutations, 10% somatic

Types Of RB/Growth Patterns
Endophytic:
» Tumor grows into vitreous cavity
+ yellow white mass
> Progressively fills vitreous cavity & vitreous seeds occur
> Retinal vessels not seen on tumor surface.
> Toxocarisis: Toxocarisis due to a round worm larva
is contracted from exposure to a dog, usually a house pet.
> Medulloepithelioma: Congenital tumor of Non Pigmented
Ciliary Epithelium.
can affect CB, retina, ON (intraocular and orbit)
First decade of life, but can present in adults
> Retinopathy of prematurity. is associated with low-birth-
weight infants who receive supplemental oxygen
in the period immediately after birth, and it involves damage to
the retinal tissue and may lead to retinal detachment.

Murphree Classification of RB
+ Group A’ Small tumors away from foveola and small peripheral lesions.
> — Tumors <3 mm in greatest dimension confined to the retina and Located
at least 3 mm from the foveola and 1.5 mm from the optic disc.
«+ Group 8: All remaining tumors confined to the retina.
+ Allother tumors confined to the retina and not in group A
> Subretinal fluid (without subretinal seeding) < 3 mm from the base of the tumor.

Group C: Local subretinal fluid or vitreous seeding.
Subretinal fluid alone >3 mm and < 6 mm from the tumor.
Vitreous or subretinal seeding < 3 mm from the tumor.

Group D: Diffuse subretinal fluid or seeding
Subretinal fluid > 6 mm from the tumor.

Examination
Anything causing a white pupil reflex as the only sign suggesting the presence of
retinoblastoma. parental concern about a white pupil deserves a retinal examination with the
indirect ophthalmoscope.
Work-up of patient with retinoblastoma starts with a history, eye exam (including complete
retina exam with dilated pupil using indirect ophthalmoscope) and then:
> — Fluorescein angiography
> — Ultrasonography ( B-Scan)
» — Neuroimaging: CT and MRI
> Thorough general physical examination
Followed by (if indicated):
> — DNA testing in peripheral and in tumor cells
> Spinal tap
+ Bone marrow aspirate/bionsy

Treatment of Retinoblastoma
All of these methods can be useful in the treatment of retinoblastoma.
The order depends on the unique findings in each patient.
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types
of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation
therapy:
> External-beam radiation therapy. uses a machine outside the body to send radiation
toward the area of the body with cancer,
> Intensity-modulated raalation therapy. (therapy that uses a computer to make
pictures of the size and shape of the tumor
> Proton-beam radiation therapy: Proton-beam therapy is a type of high-energy,
external radiation therapy.
> Internal radiation therapy: uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires,
or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer.
> Plaque radiotherapy; Radioactive seeds are attached to one side of a disk, called a

ENUCLEATION With Ol
+ Enucleation remains an important therapeutic option for this disease.
> Children who have unilateral advanced intraocular disease.
» Enucleation is sometimes recommended for both eyes in children who have bilateral
far-advanced disease not amenable to any eye-preserving therapy and for the more
severely affected eye in markedly asymmetrical bilateral cases,
> If enucleation is performed, the ophthalmic surgeon should attempt to obtain a
long section of the optic nerve during surgery.
+ Orbital Implant:
> Promotes orbital growth
> Provides better cosmetic
+ Enhances prosthesis motility
> Non integrated (PMMA/ silicon)
> Myoconjunctival technique
