Abstract

Chemotherapeutic approaches, including chemoreduction (CRD), chemothermotherapy, as well as periocular, intravitreal, and intra-arterial chemotherapy, are effective tools in managing different types of ocular tumors. Treatments are often individualized to patient and tumor types to yield best possible outcomes. Due to space limitations, this chapter will focus on CRD and intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma.
