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.

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.
