Retinoblastoma is a rare but fast-growing cancer that occurs primarily in newborns, infants, and children under 5 years of age.
Arising from immature retinal cells in one or both eyes, these tumors begin as tiny elevations in the retina and can eventually fill the entire eye. It is curable if detected early enough. Treatment protocols vary according to the severity of the retinoblastoma. Typically chemotherapy, laser, cryo (freezing), and surgery may be utilized.
