Purpose of reviewThe current classification and management strategies for retinoblastoma are discussed.Recent findingsThe International Classification of Retinoblastoma is a new classification system for retinoblastoma and is based on tumor size, location, and associated seeding: group A=retinoblastoma up to 3 mm in size; group B=retinoblastoma more than 3 mm in size, macular location, or minor subretinal fluid; group C=retinoblastoma with localized seeds; group D=retinoblastoma with diffuse seeds; and group E=massive retinoblastoma necessitating enucleation. This classification was designed to simplify grouping and to assist in predicting treatment outcomes. Chemoreduction is an important therapy for bilateral retinoblastoma: and some cases of unilateral retinoblastoma. This International Classification of Retinoblastoma can reliably predict chemoreduction outcome, as success was achieved in 100% of group A, 93% of group B, 90% of group C, and 4710 of group D cases. Group E is typically managed with enucleation.SummaryThe new classification of retinoblastoma allows better judgement for success with chemoreduction for retinoblastoma.
