Understanding Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a rare form of eye cancer that affects infants and young children. In recent years, significant advances have been made in retinoblastoma diagnosis and treatment, helping not only save children's lives but in many cases preserving vision in the eye affected by cancer. On this episode of ASRS’s Retina Health for Life, Dr. Carol Shields of the Wills Eye Hospital joins Dr. Timothy Murray to discuss the causes of the condition, symptoms parents should be aware of and the importance of early, personalized treatment to ensure the best outcomes for children and their families.
