Retinoblastoma is a tumor of the retina, the layer at the back of the eye responsible for capturing light. It is the most common eye tumor in childhood and is usually detected in the first years of life.
Signs that may be noticed: a whitish reflection in the pupil when it catches light, misalignment of one eye, or changes in its appearance that draw the family's attention.
When should you seek care? In the case of a white reflection in the pupil, a misaligned eye, or any visual change in a child, an early evaluation is advisable, since prompt detection is key.
Which specialist treats it? Retinoblastoma is addressed in oncology and pediatric oncology, with the participation of pediatrics. Because it is a delicate condition in childhood, the support of a professional team is essential.
