Early anti-VEGF treatment for radiation maculopathy, even before symptoms, significantly improves vision preservation and anatomical outcomes. This proactive approach maximizes visual recovery in high-risk patients.

This study linked advanced retinoblastoma features (AJCC subcategories, tumor size) to metastatic death risk. Larger tumors and specific cT3 features increased mortality, with primary enucleation offering the best survival.

A new cryoprobe was used in enucleation surgery to create corneal adhesion, providing better eye traction for optic nerve transection. This improves surgical control for patients needing eye removal.

This review found uveal, orbital, and optic nerve invasion are the most crucial predictors of retinoblastoma metastasis, alongside bilaterality and delayed diagnosis, guiding clinical evaluation and genetic studies for improved patient care.
