Abstract
*is was a cross-sectional analytical study which involved a
total of 234 eyeball surgical specimens from 214 patients
with histological diagnosis of RB at Mulago National Referral
Hospital (MNH) in Kampala, Uganda, between 2006
and 2015. *e formalin-fixed embedded paraffin (FFEP)
tissue blocks were retrieved and retrospectively studied at
Makerere pathology laboratory. Fourteen (5.6%) cases were
excluded from the study either because of missing tissue
blocks or being spoiled by insects. For every eyeball specimen
included for histological evaluation, two serial sections
were made at a thickness of 3 microns, and each section was
stained using standard Harris’ haematoxylin and eosin
(H&E) stains. For pathological staging, TNMversion 8 of the
American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) of 2017 was
applied (Table 1).
Data generated were collected using a structured data
collection form, and statistical analysis was done using SPSS
16.0 version (SAS Institute, Cary, NC 2010) software. Statistical
association between continuous and categorical
variables was computed using Fisher’s exact test and Pearson
chi-square (χ2) test, respectively. P < 0.05 was considered
statistically significant.
