First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 900 children who were treated for retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer, to track their long-term health. Researchers will collect vision tests, tissue and saliva samples, and questionnaires from patients and their siblings. The goal is to learn more about what causes the disease, identify late effects of treatment, and find the best therapies for the future.
