Long-term results of retinoblastoma treatment in children
Retinoblastoma is a malignant retinal tumor in young children. It usually develops in the first two years of life. In 25-30% of patients, the tumor affects both eyes. Nowadays, the hereditary nature of retinoblastomas has been proved in 50-70% of patients. The tumor grows rapidly and has a tendency to metastasize. Metastases to lymph nodes, skull bones, brain, ribs, sternum, spine, less often to internal organs can appear already in stage I or more often in stage II of the disease.
