Retinoblastoma is the most common eye malignancy in children that if left untreated can invade intraocular structures, metastasize, and rarely lead to death. Traditionally treated with systemic chemotherapy, Intra-arterial chemotherapy is gaining popularity as it allows for the direct administration of chemotherapy through the ophthalmic artery, thus reducing systemic side effects. Intra-arterial chemotherapy procedures have evolved, with refinements to reduce risks and radiation exposure. Intra-arterial chemotherapy boasts an impressive technical success rate and one year ocular survival even amongst advanced cases. This review offers a thorough examination of the technique, indications, contraindications, outcomes, and alternative options for Intra-arterial chemotherapy.
视网膜母细胞瘤是儿童中最常见的眼恶性肿瘤,如果不治疗,它可以侵犯眼内结构、转移,并很少导致死亡。传统上采用全身化疗治疗,而动脉内化疗由于可以通过眼动脉直接给予化疗药物,从而减少全身副作用,因此越来越受欢迎。动脉内化疗技术已经发展,改进了技术以降低风险和减少辐射暴露。即使在晚期病例中,动脉内化疗也具有令人印象深刻的技术成功率和一年的眼部存活率。本综述全面探讨了动脉内化疗的技术、适应证、禁忌证、结果以及替代方案。
