Long-term Impact of Retinoblastoma Therapy on Vision-Related Quality of Life
Using the NEI-VFQ-25, researchers assessed vision-targeted health-related quality of life for survivors of retinoblastoma.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Targeted Therapy Enhances Chemotherapy, Improves Outcomes in Retinoblastoma
The effectiveness of chemotherapy was enhanced by targeting survivin, a protein that inhibits apoptosis or cell death, according to preclinical research in cells and mouse models of retinoblastoma.
Ethnic, Racial, and Socioeconomic Disparities in Retinoblastoma in Children
Ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic disparities appear to exist among children with retinoblastoma, a once uniformly fatal but now treatable eye cancer. Those disparities are associated with greater risks for advanced disease and undergoing removal of the eye.
Most retinoblastoma survivors have normal psychosocial functioning
Most retinoblastoma survivors do not have poorer psychosocial functioning compared with people without cancer.
Adult survivors of childhood eye cancer experience few cognitive or social setbacks
Adult survivors of retinoblastoma, a type of eye cancer that usually develops in early childhood, are typically free from long-lasting effects, a new study shows.
Survivors of pediatric retinoblastoma have few cognitive and social problems during adulthood
Adults who survived childhood retinoblastoma have limited cognitive and social issues later in life.
New treatment for retinoblastoma expected to save more eyes from cancer
A new technique to treat retinoblastoma may help prevent eye loss, blindness, or death in children with advanced forms of the disease.
Early detection of childhood eye cancer does not improve survival or prevent eye loss
Shortening the time from first appearance of symptoms to diagnosis has no bearing on survival or stage of disease in unilateral retinoblastoma, the most common form of childhood eye cancer, according to a new study.
Smart phone photos for easier detection of pediatric eye cancer
Can parents use digital cameras and smart phones to potentially screen their children for the most common form of pediatric eye cancer? Researchers believe so.
New type of retinoblastoma discovered in babies
A new type of retinoblastoma, which is a rapidly developing eye cancer that affects very young babies, has been discovered. This finding can immediately change clinical practice and optimize care for these children.
