Retinoblastoma is a cancer that develops in the retina – the light - sensitive tissue that lines the inside of the eyes. It is most common in children, and if it is treated early more that 95% of affected children live on to adulthood. The cancer is first noticed as a whiteness in the pupil, especially in photographs in which a flash is used.
