Article Synopsis
- Survivors of hereditary retinoblastoma face a higher risk of cranio-facial second primary tumors, particularly following treatment with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
- A study analyzing data from 42 patients revealed that cranio-facial SPTs were typically diagnosed around age 13, with osteosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas being the most common types.
- Complete surgical resection significantly improved 5-year overall survival and event-free survival rates, indicating that early detection through imaging could be crucial for better outcomes.
