Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for retinoblastoma (Rb) has been established as a primary treatment for the disease. To determine whether the presence of reflux into the ICA is associated with tumor response or with any other adverse events in pediatric retinoblastoma BACKGROUND
Abnormalities of chromosome 13 have been associated with bilateral retinoblastoma. Deletion of a retinoblastoma gene is a common primary mechanism. Other abnormalities are more rare. To our knowledge, a balanced translocation of the long arms of the X and 13 chromosomes associated with
This report describes a rare case of retinoblastoma presenting as a congenital primary intracranial tumor. A 7-day-old infant presented with generalized seizures. He had a family history of retinoblastoma. Computed tomography of the brain revealed a midline suprasellar tumor without evidence of
A one-month-old infant boy was examined early in life because his mother had bilateral retinoblastoma and his father had bilateral microphthalmia. The ophthalmologist found his right eye was normal size with a coloboma of the iris, choroid, and retina. The left eye was microphthalmic with a coloboma
OBJECTIVE
To compare outcomes of intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma as primary therapy before (Era I) and during (Era II) the intravitreal chemotherapy era.
METHODS
In this retrospective interventional case series at a tertiary referral center, 66 eyes of 66 patients with untreated
p27 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor which arrests cell cycle at G1-S phase. Using RNA interference method, we previously showed that reduction of endogenous p27 expression induces cell death through cell cycle progression in cultured cortical neurons. In this study, we investigated responses
Patients with an interstitial 13q deletion that contains the RB1 gene show retinoblastoma and variable clinical features. Relationship between phenotypic expression and loss of specific neighboring genes are unresolved, yet. We obtained clinical, cytogenetic and molecular data in 63 patients with an
Literature on high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell rescue in relapsed retinoblastoma is limited to <150 cases reported so far. We present our experience and the challenges faced in the management of a 7-year-old boy with relapsed isolated extraocular retinoblastoma in the right
OBJECTIVE
To analyze our 5-year experience of intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for retinoblastoma as primary or secondary therapy.
METHODS
Retrospective interventional case series.
METHODS
A total of 70 eyes of 67 patients.
METHODS
Ophthalmic artery chemotherapy infusion under fluoroscopic guidance
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease caused by abnormal discharging in the brain, which induces momentary brain dysfunction. Cannabinoid 2 receptor (CB2R) is expressed in central nervous system (CNS) and serves an important role in the pathogenesis of CNS diseases. The aim of the present study was to
Certain features of Wilson's disease (WD) in Asia have been found to be different from those in other continents. The higher prevalence rate in Japan is presumably due to a higher consanguinity rate. In Chinese there is a tight linkage between WD and two gene loci for esterase D and retinoblastoma
OBJECTIVE
To describe neoplasms diagnosed in children = 28 days of age along with their treatment, associated congenital anomalies, and the long-term consequences of the diagnoses and treatments.
METHODS
Utilizing autopsy records, a computerized tumor registry, and medical records, we identified
Ifosfamide was given to 61 patients with malignant solid tumors diagnosed before the age of 21 years. In this phase II study, all patients received 1.6 g/m2/day X 5 iv over 15 minutes followed by mesna at a dose of 400 mg/m2 iv at 15 minutes and 4 and 6 hours after ifosfamide. Responses were
Ifosfamide/mesna was given to 97 patients who had malignant solid tumors diagnosed before they were 21 years of age. Patients received 1.6 g/m2 ifosfamide daily x 5, given i.v. over 15 min, followed by 400 mg/m2 i.v. mesna at 15 min and 4 and 6 h after ifosfamide. Responses were noted in patients
OBJECTIVE
To report two infants with tuberous sclerosis who initially were considered to have retinoblastoma.
METHODS
An 8-day-old infant was referred with small tumors in the posterior poles of both eyes. A left microphthalmos with ciliochoroidal coloboma was present. Computed tomographic (CT)
