BACKGROUND: Two major treatment modalities for retinoblastoma, intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) and intravitreal chemotherapy (IVitC), have superseded external beam radiotherapy for eye salvage. In this new setting our objectives were to evaluate the indications for plaque radiotherapy, complications, and recurrence rates.
METHODS: Retrospective detailed review of patient's charts was performed for all subjects treated with plaque radiotherapy for retinoblastoma between January 2015 and December 2020.
RESULTS: A total of 12 eyes of 12 patients were included. Mean age at plaque insertion was 45 months (median 29, range 17-150). The treatment dose was 40 Gy to the tumor apex. The indication for plaque radiotherapy was salvage therapy in 11 eyes (92%) and primary treatment in one eye (8%). At last follow-up from plaque insertion (mean 36 months, range 3-67), four (33%) patients had visual acuity better than 0.5 LogMAR and four (33%) had visual acuity worse than 1.0 LogMAR. Radiation-related complications were: one (8%) vitreous haemorrhage, two (16%) non-proliferative radiation retinopathy and one (8%) cataract. Recurrence was detected in four (33%) patients at a mean of 7.8 months (median 5, range 1-20) post-plaque. Globe salvage rate was 75%, as three eyes required enucleation, one to treat recurrence of the tumor treated with plaque and two to treat recurrence of other tumors.
CONCLUSIONS: In the current era of retinoblastoma management, a role for plaque radiotherapy remains for salvage or primary treatment in eyes with localised active tumor, providing tumor control in 66%. Close observation is recommended to both detect recurrence and radiation-related complications.
