Eye cancer survivors: does anesthesia affect the brain?
NCT ID NCT06227962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how cancer treatment and multiple rounds of anesthesia affect thinking skills, emotions, and quality of life in people who survived retinoblastoma (a rare eye cancer) or were at risk for it. Researchers will test memory, attention, and other brain functions in 240 participants aged 8 to 35. The goal is to understand long-term effects, not to test a new treatment.

Inclusion Criteria Rb survivors and Rb risk carriers (age 8-35 years): * Rb diagnosis, (main) treatment and follow-up of Rb patients and -survivors, or Rb screening took place at the Dutch Retinoblastoma Expertise Center of the Amsterdam University Medical Center, * Rb survivor or former Rb risk carriers is between 8 and 35 years old, * Average understanding of the Dutch language. Inclusion Criteria parents of Rb patients, Rb survivors or Rb risk carriers (6 months - 12 years): * Being a caregiver of a Rb survivor or Rb risk carrier that have been diagnosed and receive(d) (main) treatment and follow-up or screening at the Dutch Retinoblastoma Expertise Center of the Amsterdam University Medical Center, * The related Rb survivor or Rb risk carrier is \< 12 years old, * Average understanding of the Dutch language. Exclusion Criteria: * Pre-existing documented developmental delay and/or severe cognitive impairments (IQ \<70), * Having an active, uncontrolled psychiatric illness, * Rb diagnostic trajectory, treatment and follow-up at another hospital or before the founding of the Dutch Retinoblastoma Expertise Center in 1991.
