[Radiotherapy in the multimodality treatment of retinoblastomas in children]. 1985

G V Goldobenko, and L A Durnov, and G V Lobanov, and N A Liutova, and B M Belkina

The results of multimodality therapy of 50 children with uni- or bilateral retinoblastoma were assessed. Gamma-beam therapy with the application of a special protective collimator and polychemotherapy were used as modalities supplementing eye extirpation. Some patients were irradiated prior to operation, the others following it. Despite a slight decrease in a tumor radiation dose in the first group, 2-year survival rates in both groups were the same. Of 32 patients 30 (94%) in both groups have been alive for 2 yrs. without signs of disease after multimodality therapy. Patients with Stage I retinoblastoma were subjected to chemo- and radiotherapy; 16 out of 18 patients have been alive for 2 yrs. It has been stressed that radiation therapy is an important component in multimodality therapy. It can be used as a modality of the combined method of tumor surgical removal or as a method of radical therapy in early forms of the disease.

D012175 Retinoblastoma A malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. The tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. The majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. An abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; STRABISMUS; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition.
