Combination of brachytherapy and intravitreal chemotherapy in the treatment of retinoblastoma with vitreous seeding

Conclusion: Rutheni um-106 plaque therapy in combination with intravitreal chemotherapy is an effective local therapy with good tumour control rates even in advanced eyes. Overall, the analysed therapeutic approach shows an acceptable side effect profile, especially when considering that EBRT and systemic polychemother apy, or at least the number of cycles needed, with their increased incidence of adverse events can thus be avoided.
