Background: To evaluate the clinical presentation, pathological features and outcomes of retinoblastoma based on the race of origin in a global cohort of patients.
Methods: Retrospective collaborative study of 1426 patients who underwent primary enucleation for retinoblastoma.
Results: Patients were grouped into Caucasians (n = 231, 16%), Asians (n = 841, 59%), Hispanics (n = 226, 16%), Arabs (n = 96, 7%) and Others (Africans, African Americans, Indigenous Australians; n = 32, 2%) cohorts.
Article Synopsis
- This study aims to examine the histopathology and outcomes in patients with retinoblastoma who underwent eye enucleation and had neovascular glaucoma (NVG).
- The research included 1,420 total cases from five continents, revealing that 16% of patients with NVG were often at higher risk of severe histopathological findings.
- The findings indicate that NVG is linked to more aggressive forms of the disease and a higher chance of metastasis, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and treatment in these cases.
Bacteria of the genus, including the subgroup, play an important role in the environmental microbial communities. Psychrotolerant isolates of can produce thermostable proteases and lipases. When contaminating refrigerated raw milk, these bacteria spoil it by producing enzymes resistant to pasteurization.

Design: Retrospective multinational clinical cohort study.
Methods: Children with Rb who presented to 21 centers from 12 countries between 2011-2020, and underwent primary enucleation were recruited.
Purpose: Little is known regarding differences in childhood growth between somatic and heritable retinoblastoma (Rb) populations. We aimed to compare childhood growth parameters between somatic and heritable Rb cohorts at birth and at time of diagnosis with Rb.
Methods: A multinational, longitudinal cohort study was conducted with patients from 11 centers in 10 countries who presented with treatment naïve Rb from January to December 2019.
