Abstract

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignant tumor in children. Chemotherapy remains the main method for the treatment of intraocular RB in term of saving affected eyes. Intra-arterial chemotherapy is a novel way to treat intraocular RB and can avoid systematic toxic side effects caused by intravenous chemotherapy. This article reviews the research advances on intra-arterial chemotherapy for the treatment of RB.
