Purpose: With the increased survival of retinoblastoma (RB) patients, it is important to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of RB survivors as well as caregivers to provide comprehensive care to the children and caregivers. This study aims to assess the QoL of survivors of RB, as perceived by parents and the self-report by patients, through a pediatric QoL (PEDs-QoL) questionnaire.
Methods: The study cohort included 86 RB survivors, 86 age-matched controls, and their primary carers.
Purpose: To describe the surgical technique using a 10/14 French silicone urinary catheter as a novel tissue expander for repair of defects after removal of eyelid tumors. This device recruits additional tissue by tissue expansion for repair of large eyelid defects.
Methods: A prospective noncomparative, interventional case study was conducted over a period of 3 years in which 30 patients were enrolled.
Purpose: To study the long-term efficacy of intravitreal topotecan (IVT) for vitreous seeds in eyes with retinoblastoma and risk factors for their recurrence.
Design: Retrospective, non-comparative, interventional study.
Participants: Ninety-one eyes of 90 patients with retinoblastoma treated between January 2013 and April 2019.

Article Synopsis
- There have been significant advancements in ocular oncology for diagnosing and treating tumors in the eye and surrounding areas, with a focus on targeted therapies.
- Targeted therapies use drugs that specifically target genetic mutations and pathways in tumor cells, reducing damage to normal cells compared to traditional chemotherapy.
- Current research and clinical trials show promising results for targeted therapies in treating various eye-related tumors, leading to improved survival rates and better patient tolerance.
