Retinoblastoma TreatmentsFor people with retinoblastoma, treatments may involve enucleation, radiation therapy, thermotherapy, photocoagulation, chemotherapy, cryotherapy, or a combination of these. Which of these retinoblastoma treatments is best for a particular patient will vary based of factors such as the stage of the cancer, how likely it is that vision can be saved, and the size and number of tumors. Follow-up care after treatment for retinoblastoma is important; in most cases involving children, regular follow-up care should continue until seven years of age.
