Overview

Screening

  • Children with a family history of retinoblastoma are at increased risk of developing retinoblastoma and require screening plan for the early diagnosis of the tumor.[1]
  • To schedule the screening plan, first, the risk of tumor development must be determined using the infant relationship to the family member with retinoblastoma.
  • The table below is an estimate of patients risk for the development of retinoblastoma depending on the relativity of patient to the affected relatives.
  • Risk of retinoblastoma development in the general population has been estimated at 0.007%.
Risk of carrying mutated gene in the relatives of a patient with retinoblastoma (Patient)(%)
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 [2]

Next step in assessing the risk of these children is to estimate the approximate relative risk of retinoblatoma development according to the percentage mentioned in the aforementioned table.

  • Relatives are categorized into three categories:
    • High risk: those with risk percentage > 7.5%
    • Intermediate risk: those with risk percentage between and 1% and 7.5% (including 7.5%).
    • Low risk: those with risk percentage < 1%.
  • American Association of Ophthalmic Oncologists and Pathologists (AAOOP) guideline recommends scheduled eye examination for the screening of children at higher risk of retinoblastoma. [2]
  • This society recommends screening from birth up to 7 years of age.
  • No further examination is required after this age except for those who are known carriers of the RB1 gene mutation.
  • For those who carries the RB1 gene mutation, screening should be continued indefinitely after the age of 7 years 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.

Risk category or Age High risk Intermediate risk Low risk

Birth to 8 weeks

  • Every 2-4 weeks
  • Monthly
  • Monthly

>8-12 weeks

  • Monthly
  • Monthly
  • Monthly

>3 to 12 months

  • Monthly
  • Every 2 months
  • Every 3 months

>12 to 24 months

  • Every 2 months
  • Every 3 months
  • Every 4 months

>24 to 36 months

  • Every 3 months
  • Every 3 months
  • Every 6 months

>36 to 48 months

  • Every 4 months
  • Every 4-6 months
  • Every 6 months

>48 to 60 months

  • Every 6 months
  • Every 4-6 months
  • Annually

5 to 7 years

  • Every 6 months
  • Annually
  • Annually
The above table is the recommended management guideline for childhood screening of
families with affected individuals and adopted from Ophthalmology journal[2]
  • The schedule presented above is general guideline for at-risk child when no lesions of concern have been noted. Some children may require more frequent examinations.

The AAOOP guideline also suggests a single dilated fundus examination to evaluate for asymptomatic spontaneously regressed retinoblastoma or retinoma in all first-degree relatives of a patient with retinoblastoma, including older siblings if the RB1 genetic analysis of the relatives is not done.
