Dr. Roshmi Gupta<br />
Most common childhood eye cancer.<br />
It is completely curable if detected early.<br />
Take a flash photograph of your child and check the<br />
photograph to see if there is any white shiny glint in<br />
the eye.<br />
Pediatricians should check the eyes for abnormal<br />
reflex and squint during the child’s visits for<br />
immunization and health check up.<br />
General ophthalmologists should dilate the child’s<br />
eyes and look at the retina.<br />
Children with suspected retinoblastoma should be<br />
referred to an eye cancer specialist for timely<br />
management.<br />
Appropriate treatment of retinoblastoma can save<br />
the child’s life, prevent removal of eyes and save<br />
child’s vision.<br />
Intravenous, intra-arterial and, intravitreal<br />
chemotherapy along with local therapy<br />
can successfully treat the cancer.<br />
