Long ‐term outcomes of Group D retinoblastoma eyes during the intravitreal melphalan era

ConclusionDuring a 6‐year period that included the initiation of intravitreal melphalan at our institution, the salvage rate of treated Group D eyes was 75% (39/52 eyes). Intravitreal melphalan was utilized for ocular salvage in 42% (22/52 eyes). Systemic chemoreduction combined with intravitreal melphalan for seeding demonstrated a high overall salvage rate for Group D eyes in this cohort. (Source: Pediatric Blood and Cancer)
