Metastases and death rates after primary enucleation of unilateral retinoblastoma in the USA 2007–2017

Abstract

Primary enucleation for unilateral retinoblastoma results in a low rate of metastatic death, but is still associated with a 3.9% chance of metastases within a year of enucleation. Most but not all patients who developed metastases had higher risk histopathological findings.
