Administering chemotherapy by cannulating the ophthalmic artery in patients with retinoblastoma was very effective in resolving these tumors in children and prevented enucleation in 27/28 cases. No complications! The procedure was safely repeated up to six times. The cannulation was performed under fluoroscopic control, and this method avoids all the side effects of chemo.
