Abstract

Retinoblastoma (RB) is considered the most common cancer in children. It is caused by abnormalities in the progenitor cells of the retina due to chromosome 13. This genetic alteration leads to cancerous cell growth, which can severely impact vision and may be life-threatening if diagnosis is delayed. Management of this population requires multidisciplinary teams, in which clinical nurses play critical roles in the care of children with retinoblastoma. Core responsibilities include comprehensive assessment, care planning, and care coordination within multidisciplinary teams; delivery of treatment-related nursing care for chemotherapy, focal therapies, and perioperative management and education on medication adherence, complication recognition, and home care. Clinical nurses also provide education and support for complication prevention, rehabilitation, and health promotion. These integrated roles aim to empower children with retinoblastoma and their families to self-manage physically and psychologically for better quality of life.

This academic article aims to review and synthesize literature related to retinoblastoma and describe professional roles of clinical nurses in caring for retinoblastoma patients, to inform nursing practice for clinical nurses to effectively care for this patient population.
