Purpose: Of this study was to evaluate the results of combined treatment for intraocular retinoblastoma.
Materials and methods: We examined 23 children (32 eyes), 14 with unilateral and 9 with bilateral disease. 53% of eyes had
the stage V of the disease, according to Reese – Ellsworth.
Results: In I-III group according to R-E, it was possible to save more than 90% of eyes. In group IV-V we saved 20% of eyes.
Conclusions: Chemoreduction combined with local treatment is an optimal method of treatment for retinoblastoma, especially
in I-III group.
