Anesthesia and brain thinking changes in children with retinoblastoma
Part of Cancer, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having anesthesia more than once (for eye/surgery treatment) affects children’s thinking and learning. It may help doctors plan safer care and better follow-up for children with retinoblastoma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between 6 and 16 years old (inclusive of 6, under 17)

- Do NOT have a history of a second cancer diagnosis

This study looks at how retinoblastoma and its treatment affect thinking skills and quality of life over time. It may help doctors better support survivors and their families.
This trial studies whether newer “save-the-eye” treatment plans can control retinoblastoma (eye cancer) while keeping vision as good as possible. It compares different conservative treatment strategies depending on how the tumor looks and where it is.
This study looks at long-term health outcomes—how patients are doing physically and in daily life—after treatment for retinoblastoma. It may help doctors understand what support or follow-up care could be most helpful after treatment.
This study looks at how different treatments for one affected eye retinoblastoma may affect survivors’ emotional and social functioning. It may help doctors understand which treatment approaches are linked with better day-to-day well-being over time.
This study looks at how cancer treatment may affect children’s thinking and brain health. It may help doctors better understand risks so they can monitor and support learning and memory during and after treatment.
This study looks at brain-wave activity (measured with sensors) in young children during and after general anesthesia for planned eye surgery. It may help doctors understand why some children become very upset or confused as they wake up.
