Primary Enucleation for Intraocular Unilateral Retinoblastoma Can Save Life in Lower-Income Settings
In the present multinational cohort of children with unilateral intraocular Rb who underwent upfront enucleation coupled with adjuvant chemotherapy as needed, overall survival was favorable, especially for children from low-income countries. Prompting early diagnosis, while the tumor remains intraocular can be life-saving, particularly in low-resource settings where primary enucleation and adjuvant chemotherapy can cure unilateral Rb.
