Description: Provides information and support for families coping with the diagnosis and treatment of retinoblastoma.
Cancer is always a frightening diagnosis, and when it affects children, the situation is overwhelming. Eye cancer in children, though rare, is the third leading cancer of childhood. Retinoblastoma, a cancer of the retinal eye tissue, is the most common eye cancer in children. It affects approximately one in eighteen thousand live births without regard to race or gender. This number, in fact, probably underestimates the number of cases because children remain at risk for retinoblastoma during the first five years of life.
