The patients' survival for the most common intraocular tumor in children, retinoblastoma, has a wide spectrum among the world countries. This study was conducted to provide an overview of the retinoblastoma survival disparity worldwide by discussing the trends of patients' survival, as well as recent advances in the management of retinoblastoma. The design of this study was literature review and commentary. Selected articles from PubMed (except one) including both developing and developed countries regarding the patients' survival in retinoblastoma were considered and reviewed critically. An analysis of 47 articles was performed. In conclusion, in spite of an obvious contrast of retinoblastoma survival disparity in the world, the expanding horizons in developing countries are promising and continuing on all fronts and results are hope-inspiring.
视网膜母细胞瘤是儿童最常见的眼内肿瘤,其患者生存率在世界各国差异很大。本研究旨在通过探讨患者生存趋势以及视网膜母细胞瘤治疗的最新进展,概述全球视网膜母细胞瘤生存差异情况。本研究采用文献综述和评论的设计方法。对从PubMed(除一篇外)选取的包括发展中国家和发达国家关于视网膜母细胞瘤患者生存情况的文章进行了认真考虑和审查。共对47篇文章进行了分析。总之,尽管全球视网膜母细胞瘤生存差异明显,但发展中国家不断拓展的视野在各方面都充满希望且成果鼓舞人心。
