Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular
malignant tumor of childhood and was invariably fatal until relatively recently. Now though, retinoblastoma is curable in virtually all children presenting in the developed
world. Furthermore, it is now possible to preserve the eye
and retain functional vision, and advances in treatment
now spare hundreds of children the need for treatment
with systemic chemotherapy. These twelve chapters span
the current field of retinoblastoma from laboratory discoveries to diagnostic advances to primary treatment
through visual rehabilitation. Specific attention is given to
retinoblastoma in the developing world and its implications for extraocular and metastatic retinoblastoma. Finally, the surgical importance of this disease is highlighted
in the discussion of anesthetic considerations for examination under anesthesia, chemotherapy including intraarterial ophthalmic artery treatment and application of
radiotherapy in primary, recurrent and orbital disease.
