According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force, screening for retinoblastoma is not recommended. There is no widely accepted screening protocol of retinoblastoma for the general population. However, children at increased risk of retinoblastoma based on known 13q deletion or [[family history]] should be evaluated by an [[ophthalmologist]] shortly after birth. In all offsprings and siblings of patients with retinoblastoma, screening dilated [[fundus]] examinations are recommended.<ref name="RothschildLévy2011">{{cite journal|last1=Rothschild|first1=P-R|last2=Lévy|first2=D|last3=Savignoni|first3=A|last4=Lumbroso-Le Rouic|first4=L|last5=Aerts|first5=I|last6=Gauthier-Villars|first6=M|last7=Esteve|first7=M|last8=Bours|first8=D|last9=Desjardins|first9=L|last10=Doz|first10=F|last11=Lévy-Gabriel|first11=C|title=Familial retinoblastoma: fundus screening schedule impact and guideline proposal.

Early [[diagnosis]] of retinoblastoma is necessary to obtain the best outcomes for preservation of the [[vision]] and the eye. In 2018, a group of experts in clinical retinoblastoma care and [[ophthalmic]]
[[pathology]] and [[genetics]] suggested a risk-stratified schedule for [[ophthalmic]] [[screening]] [[Examination|examinations]]. Estimated risk of retinoblastoma development is calculated according to the relativity of individuals to the family member with retinoblastoma.

* Next step in assessing the risk of these [[Child|children]] is to estimate the approximate relative risk of retinoblastoma development according to the percentage mentioned in the above table.


==Screening==
*Relatives are categorized into three categories:
There is no widely accepted screening protocol of retinoblastoma for the general population. However, children at increased risk of retinoblastoma based on known 13q deletion or [[family history]] should be evaluated by an [[ophthalmologist]] shortly after birth.  
**'''High risk:''' Those with a risk percentage > 7.5%
*Screening should then be conducted every 1 to two months during the first two years of life. After that screening should be conducted  every three to four months until the child is three to four years of age, and every six months until five to six years of age unless genetic testing of the child reveals that he or she does not have the germline mutation identified in the affected relative, in which case screening examinations are not necessary. Retinoblastoma surveillance examinations are usually performed with the patient under general anesthesia to permit complete detailed examination of the ocular fundus.<ref>{{cite book | last = Pizzo | first = Philip | title = Principles and practice of pediatric oncology | publisher = Wolters Kluwer/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Health | location = Philadelphia, PA | year = 2011 | isbn = 160547682X }}</ref>.
**'''Intermediate risk:''' Those with a risk percentage between 1% and 7.5% (including 7.5%)
*Although it is not clear whether early diagnosis can impact survival, screening with [[MRI ]]has been recommended as often as every 6 months for 5 years for those suspected of having heritable disease or those with unilateral disease and a positive [[family history]]. [[CT scans]] are generally avoided for routine screening in these children because of the perceived risk of exposure to [[ionizing radiation]]. At the time of diagnosis, patients who are asymptomatic of an intracranial [[tumor]] have a better outcome than do patients who are symptomatic.
**'''Low risk:''' Those with a risk percentage < 1%
*The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends red reflex testing  infants, neonates, and children before discharge from the neonatal nursery and at all subsequent routine health clinic visits. Abnormal red reflex requires immediate referral to an [[ophthalmologist]]. As some children with retinoblastoma present with [[strabismus]], all children with strabismus should be evaluated through a dilated eye exam for retinoblastoma. In all offsprings and siblings of patients with retinoblastoma, screening dilated [[fundus]] examinations are recommended.
*American Association of [[Ophthalmic]] [[Oncologists]] and [[Pathologists]] (AAOOP) [[Medical guideline|guideline]] recommends scheduled [[eye examination]] for the [[screening]] of children at high risk of developing retinoblastoma. [[Screening (medicine)|Screening]] should be initiated at [[birth]] and continued till the age of 7 years.<ref name="SkaletGombos2018">{{cite journal|last1=Skalet|first1=Alison H.|last2=Gombos|first2=Dan S.|last3=Gallie|first3=Brenda L.|last4=Kim|first4=Jonathan W.|last5=Shields|first5=Carol L.|last6=Marr|first6=Brian P.|last7=Plon|first7=Sharon E.|last8=Chévez-Barrios|first8=Patricia|title=Screening Children at Risk for Retinoblastoma|journal=Ophthalmology|volume=125|issue=3|year=2018|pages=453–458|issn=01616420|doi=10.1016/j.ophtha.2017.09.001}}</ref>

*No further [[Eye examination|examination]] is required after the age of 7 years except for those who are known carriers of the [[RB1]] [[gene]] [[mutation]].

Overview

Early diagnosis of retinoblastoma is necessary to obtain the best outcomes for preservation of the vision and the eye. In 2018, a group of experts in clinical retinoblastoma care and ophthalmic pathology and genetics suggested a risk-stratified schedule for ophthalmic screening examinations. Estimated risk of retinoblastoma development is calculated according to the relativity of individuals to the family member with retinoblastoma.

Screening

Relative of patient Bilateral involvement (100%) Unilateral involvement (15%)
Offspring (infant) 50 7.5
Parent 5 0.8
Sibling 2.5 0.4
Niece/nephew 1.3 0.2
Aunt/uncle 0.1 0.007
First cousin 0.05 0.007
The above table adopted from Ophthalmology journal [1]
  • Next step in assessing the risk of these children is to estimate the approximate relative risk of retinoblastoma development according to the percentage mentioned in the above table.
  • Relatives are categorized into three categories:
    • High risk: Those with a risk percentage > 7.5%
    • Intermediate risk: Those with a risk percentage between 1% and 7.5% (including 7.5%)
    • Low risk: Those with a risk percentage < 1%
  • American Association of Ophthalmic Oncologists and Pathologists (AAOOP) guideline recommends scheduled eye examination for the screening of children at high risk of developing retinoblastoma. Screening should be initiated at birth and continued till the age of 7 years.[1]
  • No further examination is required after the age of 7 years except for those who are known carriers of the RB1 gene mutation.
  • For those who are carries of the RB1 gene mutation, screening should be continued indefinitely after the age of 7 years and should be done annually or every 2 years.
  • The following table is the recommended eye examination schedule for unaffected children of families with retinoblastoma depending on their age and risk percentage of tumor development:
