Abstract
An epidemiological survey has been carried out to establish the incidence of second malignant neoplasms in hereditary retinoblastoma survivors in The Netherlands and the relative risk of cancer in non-affected relatives. The cumulative incidence of second neoplasms was 19% at the age of 35 years. Fathers, unaffected by retinoblastoma, were at risk for pancreatic cancer, the relative risk being 8.3.Keywords
