Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze high-risk histopathological features in eyes with retinoblastoma (RB) after enucleation and compare patient outcomes globally.
  • A total of 1,426 RB cases were reviewed, revealing significant differences in histopathological features across continents, with Asia showing the highest rates of massive choroidal invasion and optic nerve invasion.
  • The findings indicated that patients from South America and Asia faced greater risks of tumor recurrence, systemic metastasis, and mortality compared to those from Australia, Europe, and North America.
