• Abstract:

  Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of early detection of retinoblastoma and current therapeutic options in the regression of ocular tumor. Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out through searches in the PubMed Central (PMC) database. 141 articles were identified. In the end, 18 articles were selected. Results: The studies analyzed suggest that retinoblastoma has been the target of significant advances in early diagnosis, offering hope for improvements in therapeutic options for young patients. The implementation of diagnostic modalities and the search for new drugs that expand therapeutic options are essential for less invasive management, aiming to provide a better quality of life for these patients. Conclusion: Despite advances, significant improvements are needed in investigation, accessibility and image analysis tools.
