Overview

If left untreated, retinoblastoma may progress to develop seeding in the eye, leading to retinal detachment, necrosis and invasion of the orbit, optic nerve invasion, and central nervous system invasion. The majority of untreated patients die of intracranial extension and disseminated disease within one year. Spontaneous regression of the tumor is a rare occurrence but may occur in a small number of cases. Common complications of retinoblastoma include metastasis, tumor recurrence, trilateral retinoblastoma, and subsequent neoplasms. Prognosis is generally good, and the survival rate of patients with retinoblastoma with treatment is approximately 95% in the United States.

Natural History

Prognosis

  • Those with heritable form of the disease have 50% risk of transmitting the mutation to their offspring.[9]
  • The survival rate of the tumor varies according to different criteria including the stage of the tumor and even the geographic area of the patients.
    • Regarding the variable accessibility of patients to the resources, it may range from < 30% in low and middle income societies to > 90% developped contries.[10]
  • The overall 5-year survival rate increased over the years and was reported 97.3% from 2000 to 2012.[11]
  • The 5-year survival rate also differs geographically and is higher in the United States than the 5-year survival rates reported in developing countries and regions.
  • The survival rate is higher for unilateral involvement than the bilateral form of the tumor.
  • It has been observed that survival rate varies depending following factors:
    • Laterality of the tumor
    • Age at the time of diagnosis
    • Decade of diagnosis
  • Prognosis is generally good, and the survival rate of patients with retinoblastoma with treatment is approximately 95%, in the United States.[12]
  • Intraocular Classification of Retinoblastoma (ICRB) has been observed to have the ability to predict the outcome of chemotherapy:[13]
    • Category A-C is associated with ≥90% chance to salvage the eye.
    • Category D is associated with a 47% chance of eye salvage.
    • Category E is excluded due to eye enucleation.

Complications

Complications of retinoblastoma

Metastasis

Recurrence of tumor
Trilateral retinnoblastoma

  • Trilateral retinoblasroma is a rare complication and more commonly affects those with bilateral disease who are less than 1 year of age.[15]
  • Trilateral retinoblastoma is characterized by the combination of bilateral intraocular retinoblastoma and pineoblastoma, a primitive tumor of pineal gland.[16]
  • Patients with this complication may remain asymptomatic and will be discovered incidentally by imaging studies or they may indicate signs of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP).
