More relevant to radiology practice is the International Classification of Retinoblastoma, which predicts overall survival .

• stage 0: patients treated conservatively
• stage I: eye enucleated, completely resected histologically
• stage II: eye enucleated, microscopic residual tumor
• stage III: regional extension
  • A: overt orbital disease
  • B: preauricular or cervical lymph node extension
• stage IV: metastatic disease
  • A: haematogenous metastasis without CNS involvement
    • single lesion
    • multiple lesions
