AB  - This is the first of a two-part review that aims to report the current knowledge 
      of retinoblastoma (Rb) and its implications in Mexico (including the authors' 
      experience at the leading Rb centers), identify the gaps in practice, and propose 
      solutions to improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient uptake. In this first 
      part, general knowledge of Rb diagnosis and management is summarized with a focus 
      on the latest advances in chemotherapy. A general review of peer-reviewed 
      literature of Rb was conducted on PubMed. Key findings were summarized. Provided 
      there is early detection and referral of patients followed by appropriate 
      conservative management, Rb is curable. In developed countries, the primary 
      treatment outcome is ocular salvage with sight preservation. Advanced 
      chemotherapeutic options such as intra-arterial and intravitreal chemotherapy can 
      now save even the most advanced tumors. Advances in Rb therapy are generally 
      limited to developed countries. The implications in Mexico, of the findings from 
      this review will be discussed in Part 2, which will be a comprehensive 
      situational analysis of the state of Rb programming in Mexico, including a review 
      of current demographic data available from hospitals that have Rb programs or 
      treat Rb.
