Local therapies replaced systemic chemotherapy for ocular preservation in retinoblastoma. In middle income countries, these techniques pose specific challenges mostly related to more advanced disease at diagnosis. The Grupo de America Latina de Oncologia Pediatrica (GALOP developed a consensus document for the management of conservative therapy for retinoblastoma. Intra-arterial chemotherapy (OAC) is the preferred therapy, except those with less advanced disease or age younger than 6 months. OAC allowed for the elimination of the use of external beam radiotherapy in our setting. Intravitreal chemotherapy is the preferred treatment for vitreous seeding. Enucleation is the treatment of choice for advanced eyes.
