Abstract:

Objective

To summarize the complications of intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) in the treatment of retinoblastomas, in order to provide a basis for the formulation of preoperative treatment plans and postoperative care for children with retinoblastoma, in order to provide a basis for the formulation of preoperative treatment plans and postoperative care for children with retinoblastoma.

Methods

A retrospective single-center study, including 96 children with retinoblastoma who underwent IAC at the Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University between December 2019 and February 2022 was conducted.Data, including tumor stage, treatment method, the number of chemotherapy sessions, and treatment complications, were analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether complications occurred, and binary Logistic regression analyses was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative complications.

Results

Surgical complications in patients with retinoblastoma treated with IAC included systemic adverse reactions and ocular complications.Among them, 19.5% had myelosuppression, 13.9%had ophthalmic artery-related complications, and 0.4% had a drug allergy.Moreover, among 96 patients who underwent initial IAC, 31.3% (30/96) had treatment complications.The total percentage of complications after 135 infusions in patients who underwent at least two operations was 37.8% (51/135).There was no statistically significant difference in complications between the first IAC and two or more IAC (P=0.306).Both univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that surgical year was an independent risk factor for complications (P<0.05).

Conclusion

IAC is a safe and effective treatment for retinoblastomas with mild complications.
