Analysing morbidity and results of treatment of retinoblastoma
Abstract
The paper analyses revised disease rate for retinoblastoma in the Kyrgyz Republic, studies efficiency of its integrated and combined treatment during 1994-2008 (78 cases) and summarises that the combined treatment using post-operative polychemotherapy appears to have better results at I-IIIA tumour stages (5-year survival rate is 83 %). The increasing survival rate of patients with retinoblastoma depends on timely diagnostics and early treatment in specialized medical departments.
