Abstract | Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor with an incidence of 1: 16,000 to 18,000 live birth and represents 11% of cancer that develop in the first year of life. Retinoblastoma may be unilateral (60%) or bilateral (40%). Bilateral cases always heritable and median age of diagnosis is 1 year. Unilateral cases are mostly non heritable but 15% can be heritable and median age of presentation is 2 years. All children with heritable form carry mutation in RB1 gene. Though most frequent symptoms during diagnosis are leucocoria and strabismus, can present as most severe form in under developed countries. Diagnosis is made by fundus examination. Ultrasonography and imaging (CT, MRI) contribute both in diagnosis and assessment of extension of diseases. The aim of treatment is to save the child first, followed by globe and vision salvage. Treatment depends on laterality, size, location and extent of tumor. The main prognosis depends on early detection of tumor and treating the child by multidisciplinary team approach. Due to advancement in treatment modalities for the last two decade the survival rate of retinoblastoma has increased. But long term follow up is mandatory for retinoblastoma survivor as there is risk for development of second cancers in later life. Proper genetic screening and genetic counseling can help parents and patients in their adulthood to understand the disease properly. |
