Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) has become an essential and effective pillar in the management of RB. It has gained popularity as it is a targeted chemotherapeutic agent infusion technique achieved via superselective ophthalmic artery (OA) catheterisation. This improves tumour treatment and reduces recurrence and systemic side effects.
