The prognosis of retinoblastoma in terms of globe saving treatment. A computer assisted study. Part I.
At present there is no satisfactory classification or staging system. In order to compare the Reese classification (Reese & Ellsworth, 1963), the Essen classification (Höpping, 1983) and a new classification, a method of evaluating different parameters was created to get an optimal classification of globe saving treatment. A computer score table for the Essen eye clinic was established and this table could be valuable for all clinics using modern methods of treatment.
