Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Retinoblastoma is very aggressive pediatric tumor. It is having the worst prognosis and very notorious in distal spread. It can affect all organs of the body and local recurrence after unblock resection is also common. You can get a lot of studies for distal spread and local recurrence on pub med.Local site radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy is needed in her case. If tumor mass is more than debunking surgery is needed. Five year survival is less than 50%.
