UPDATE ON INTRA-ARTERIAL CHEMOTHERAPY FOR RETINOBLASTOMA

Update on Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy for Retinoblastoma

The tools for managing retinoblastoma have been increasing in the past decade.While globe-salvage still relies heavily on Tampons intravenous chemotherapy, tumors in advanced stage that failed chemotherapy are now referred for intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) to avoid enucleation.However, IAC still has many obstacles to overcome.We present an upda
