Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that usually develops in early childhood, typically before the age of 5. Mutations in the RB1 gene are responsible for most cases of retinoblastoma. RB1 is a tumor suppressor gene, which means that it normally regulates cell growth and keeps cells from dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way.

This form of cancer develops in the retina. In most children with retinoblastoma, the disease affects only one eye. However, it can affect both eyes. The most common first sign of retinoblastoma is a visible whiteness in the pupil called “cat’s eye reflex” or leukocoria, particularly noticeable in photographs taken with a flash. Other signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma include crossed eyes or eyes that do not point in the same direction (strabismus); persistent eye pain, redness, or irritation; and blindness or poor vision in the affected eye(s).

Retinoblastoma is often curable when it is diagnosed early. However, if it is not treated promptly, this cancer can spread beyond the eye to other parts of the body. This advanced form of retinoblastoma can be life-threatening.

Retinoblastoma is diagnosed in 250 to 350 children per year in the United States. It accounts for about 4 percent of all cancers in children younger than 15 years.

Retinoblastoma

You can clearly see the attachment of the tumor to the retinal tissue - in other cancers that originate in the eye, the retina is almost always left untouched. Retinoblastomas are known for growing along the optical pathways and into the brain.
