Summary of Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a rare form of cancer that rapidly develops from the immature cells of a retina, the light-detecting tissue of the eye. It is the most common malignant cancer of the eye in children, and it is almost exclusively found in young children. The most common and obvious sign of retinoblastoma is leukocoria.
