Abstract
Retinoblastoma is a primary intraocular cancer that develops in the eyes of children. The vast majority of retinoblastoma tumorigenesis is initiated by a mutation in the RB1 gene on chromosome 13q. This practice pearl will discuss the current treatment modalities for this pediatric tumor, with the primary goal of saving the child's life. With recent treatment advances, more emphasis has been placed on successfully saving the eye, often with useful vision.
