Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a type of eye cancer that affects the retina, the inner layer of the eye. Although it can happen at any age, it’s usually diagnosed in children under two years old —often while a baby is still in the womb. At 91´óÉñ Children's, the oncology experts in our 91´óÉñ Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders work closely with our pediatric ophthalmologists to diagnose and treat eye tumors early, even in the tiniest newborns.
