PURPOSE:To summarize the characteristics and trends of interest in retinoblastoma (Rb) in the last 50 years. METHODS:The Web of Science Database was used to find all studies focused on Rb published from 1970 to 2018. The term "retinoblastoma" was used to search for the 100 most cited records. RESULTS:The mean number of citations was 153.55 ± 88.9. The majority were from the United States (US) ( nppppCONCLUSIONS:This study compiles a comprehensive analysis of the most-cited articles on Rb. Studies with a higher number of citations per year were associated with IAC, which emphasizes the significance of the advances in Rb treatments that allow for the saving of eyes and vision as well as lives. Review studies had more citations than observational or interventional studies. More citations were associated with a larger number of authors or more reported patients per paper. These findings highlight the importance of collaborations to achieve relevant, high-quality research of Rb.
