| Accept poster if oral is not possible ? | Yes |
| Purpose | To determine the efficacy and safety of alternate intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) and intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) for retinoblastoma patients |
| Methods | Retrospective, interventional case series of 42 patients with retinoblastoma treated with systemic IVC (carboplatin, vincristine, and etoposide) and IAC (melphalan and/or topotecan). |
| Results | Forty-two patients were classified by the International Classification of Retinoblastoma as Group D (n=19, 45%) and Group E (n=23, 55%). The mean follow-up duration was 27.3 months. The mean number of IVC was 11 and the mean number of IAC was 4. The overall globe salvage rate was 50.1%. There was no sign of life-threatening complication, metastasis, or death. |
| Conclusion | IVC-IAC therapy provides globe salvage in 50.1% of retinoblastoma patients (Group D and Group E) with no metastasis. |
