How retinoblastoma is treated

Retinoblastoma patients can be treated with laser therapy, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatment modalities, the specific treatment modalities are related to the severity of the patient’s condition. Retinoblastoma is the most common malignant tumor in children’s eyes, which will not only seriously threaten children’s visual health, but also endanger patients’ lives when the condition is serious. Treatment for early retinoblastoma can be done through fundus laser therapy to promote the shrinkage of the lesion. Local radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also effective in controlling the tumor foci. If retinoblastoma has progressed to a more serious stage, it usually needs to be treated by surgery, such as eyeball removal. It is recommended that retinoblastoma patients should consult the hospital in time to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
