| Abstrakt: | Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of retinoblastoma. Materials and Methods: In 50 children with retinoblastoma, 69 eyes were reviewed. All patients had a full ophthalmic examination, a B-scan ultrasound, a computerized tomography scan and a pediatric examination. We performed enucleation in 47 eyes (with a histopathological study), external beam irradiation in 16 eyes, curitherapy in 4 eyes, cryotherapy in 3 eyes, and adjuvant chemotherapy in 7 cases. Results: The global survival rate was 87.5%. The main aggravating factors were: the size of the tumor and the extraretinal involvement with extension within the chroid, the sclera, and the optic nerve. Conclusion: The prognosis of retinoblastoma mainly depends on the extraretinal invasion. |
