Retinoblastoma Treatment

Retinoblastoma is a rare eye cancer that mostly affects young children. Treatment options vary depending on the tumor's size and location. Common approaches include chemotherapy to shrink the tumor, laser therapy to target cancer cells, cryotherapy (freezing treatment), and sometimes radiation for more advanced cases. In certain situations, surgery may be necessary to remove the affected eye. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, and regular eye exams can help identify issues early on. The goal is to preserve vision when possible and ensure the child’s overall health and well-being.
