Abstract

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most frequent ocular tumor in childhood. Due to recent advances in molecular biology, RB has become a study model for cancer suppressor genes, and antenatal diagnosis has now become feasible. The goals of therapy include an improved survival rate, decrease in iatrogenic sequelae (especially enucleation), and avoidance of radio-induced neoplasias. This review examines recent data from the literature.
