Thanks for your question on HCM.
Retinoblastoma is very aggressive pediatric tumour.
It is having worst prognosis and very notorious in distal spread.
It can affect all organs of the body and local recurrence after enblock resection is also common.
You can get a lot of studies for distal spread and local recurrence on pub med.
Local site radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy is needed in her case.
If tumour mass is more than debulking surgery is needed.
Five year survival is less than 50%.
