Abstract
CHILDREN WHO have retinoblastoma usually receive its diagnosis at a young age. In the United States the mean age at diagnosis for unilaterally affected children is 25 months; while for bilaterally affected patients, it is 15 months.1 When there is a known family history and children are screened for the disease, the mean age at diagnosis is younger than 1 year.2Keywords
