Effect of Treatment Modality on Psychosocial Functioning of Survivors of Unilateral Retinoblastoma

• Conditions: Survivors of Unilateral Retinoblastoma
• Interventions: Behavioral: BASC-3 survey; Behavioral: PROMIS survey

• Registration Number: NCT03662776
• Lead Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out about the quality of life and health in patients who had retinoblastoma in one eye (unilateral retinoblastoma), who either received treatment with chemotherapy injected directly into an artery leading to the eye (intra-arterial chemotherapy) or removal of the eye (enucleation). By quality of life, the investigators mean how the participants are feeling about being satisfied with things in their life, including, physical health, emotional health, and their ability to carry out daily activities. The investigators want to see if either treatment option would affect quality of life differently. The investigators hope that this information will help us provide better care to future children with retinoblastoma and better follow-up care for survivors of retinoblastoma.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
retinoblastoma survivors treated with enucleation	BASC-3 survey	MSK will contact all families of 1-year survivors of unilateral retinoblastoma treated with enucleation or intra-arterial chemotherapy at MSK and TCH between 2006 or later for completion of validated questionnaires integrating the BASC-3 and PROMIS surveys. The survey may be administered in-person during clinic or by mail, based upon participant preference.
retinoblastoma survivors treated with intra-arteria chemo	PROMIS survey	MSK will contact all families of 1-year survivors of unilateral retinoblastoma treated with enucleation or intra-arterial chemotherapy at MSK and TCH between 2006 or later for completion of validated questionnaires integrating the BASC-3 and PROMIS surveys. The survey may be administered in-person during clinic or by mail, based upon participant preference.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
social-emotional health	2 years	as measured by Behavior Assessment System for Children, 3rd edition, (BASC™-3;as measured by the BASC-3) Surveys have been normed on a representative sample that closely matches United States census population characteristics; T scores and percentiles in relation to general norms are calculated for each scale. The BASC-3 uses a T score metric where 50 is the mean for the population norm and the standard deviation is 10.
behavioral health	2 year	as measured by Behavior Assessment System for Children, 3rd edition, (BASC™-3; The following four T Scores will be analyzed for these BASC-3 summary scores (1) Externalizing Problems, (2) Internalizing Problems, (3) Behavior Symptoms Index and (4) Adaptive Skills. The "at-risk" category applies to any individual who scores 2 SD above the mean of 50, while "clinically significant" risk refers to those who score 3 SD above the mean. Additional scores are also provided which may be used to identify risk for more specific behavioral or emotional areas of concern.
compare HRQoL	2 years	as measured by the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) PROMIS measures use a T-score metric where 50 is the mean for the reference population and 10 is the standard deviation of that population. Higher scores correspond to a higher degree of symptom burden (for those items measuring symptoms) or a higher level of functioning (for physical functioning items)
