  • Title: Retinocytoma shows lack of response to chemoreduction.
    Author: Chung J, Turaka K, Shields CL.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus; 2010 Dec 22; 47 Online():e1-3. PubMed ID: 21175116.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of retinocytoma showing no response to chemoreduction. A 30-month-old girl presented with Group B multifocal retinoblastoma in the right eye and Group E retinoblastoma in the left eye. After the first cycle of chemotherapy (vincristine [0.9 mg/m(2)], carboplatin [336 mg/m(2)], and etoposide [90 mg/m(2)]), there was remarkable reduction in the tumor size in the left eye, whereas the right eye tumors did not regress and were diagnosed as retinocytomas/retinomas. Retinocytoma/retinoma shows little to no response to chemoreduction.
