This series of 193 patients represents the results in management of retinoblastoma. In cases treated 15 years ago when definitive radiotherapy and fat soluble chemotherapy were not utilized, the results of the treatment were very disappointing. The outcome was more promising after October 1985. Even if all the patients were in the advanced stages, we had a promising outcome, so effective modality of treatment is the most important prognostic factor. The other factors that influence the prognosis include the time for initial treatment, the time for starting the postoperative radiation and the efficiency of the radiation treatment. The follow-up period of 2 years after treatment is adequate to predict the outcome.
这组193例患者代表了视网膜母细胞瘤的治疗结果。在15年前进行治疗的病例中，当时未采用确定性放疗和脂溶性化疗，治疗结果非常令人失望。1985年10月之后结果更有希望。即使所有患者都处于晚期，我们仍取得了有希望的结果，因此有效的治疗方式是最重要的预后因素。其他影响预后的因素包括初始治疗时间、术后放疗开始时间以及放疗效果。治疗后2年的随访期足以预测结果。
