Retinoblastoma can be cured in most cases, especially for those in which the disease is confined within the eye.
If left untreated, the cancer can spread out of the eye and to other parts of the body, where it becomes much harder to treat or may even result in loss of life. This is why early reporting of unusual symptoms is important.
Your managing doctor(s) will discuss screening recommendations with you in greater detail. The age, onset and frequency of screening may depend on your personal and/or family history of cancer. Screening guidelines may change as more information is known.
