Tabular representation of the Reese Ellsworth’s Classification of Retinoblastoma
| Groups | Likelihood of salvage | Features used to classify the tumour |
|---|---|---|
| I | Highly favourable | 1a: Solid, solitary tumour that is less than 4-disc diameter in size and is present behind the equator or at the equator. |
| 1b: Multiple tumours with the largest of them not exceeding 4-disc diameters in size present behind or at the equator. | ||
| II | Favourable | 2a: Solitary tumour behind or at the equator ranging between 4–10-disc diameters in size. |
| 2b: Multiple tumours ranging between 4–10-disc diameters in size behind the equator. | ||
| III | Doubtful | 3a: Tumour is anterior to the equator of the eye. |
| 3b: Single tumour that is larger than 10-disc diameters behind the equator. | ||
| IV | Unfavourable | 4a: Multiple tumours with some being larger than 4-disc-diameters in size. |
| 4b: Tumour extending past the ora serrata of the eye | ||
| V | Highly unfavourable | 5a: Tumour large enough to involve more than half of the retina. |
| 5b: Vitreous seeding |
