    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer of the eye. It may be hereditary, and one-third of the cases involve both eyes. Retinoblastoma often can be seen by looking at the young person's eye but is usually diagnosed by an examination under general anesthesia using an ophthalmoscope, an instrument used in examining the interior of the eye. The disease tends to remain localized for long periods, but in advanced stages, it can metastasize, or spread to other parts of the body. x-rays, bone marrow examination, MRI, and a bone scan can be done to check for metastases. If diagnosed early, it is possible to destroy the tumor with radiation therapy and preserve normal vision. If the tumor is so large that there is no hope of maintaining useful vision using radiation, the eye is removed. In cases where both eyes are involved, an attempt is made to preserve vision in both eyes through treatment with radiation. When advanced disease is found in both eyes, an attempt is made to preserve vision in at least one eye. Whenever there is any possibility of useful vision, all efforts are made to preserve it. Chemotherapy, radiation, or both may also be used to treat metastases. Information provided by the

    http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/texts/guide/hmg17_0017.html
    
    Extractions: Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer of the retina that usually develops in children under the age of 3. About half of all cases are hereditary. Because "sporadic" cases result from new genetic mutations, siblings of patients should be examined periodically. When diagnosed and treated early, 80 percent of all cases can be cured. CAUSE Retinoblastoma can be caused by deletion or damage to both Rb genes on chromosome 13. Rb is a tumor-suppressor gene. If damaged or absent, cancers develop more readily. In familial cases, one chromosome already is inherited with the abnormal Rb gene and the other must be damaged to produce a tumor. In sporadic cases, both Rbs on chromosomes 13 in the same retinal cell become damaged. DIAGNOSIS Signs include crossed eyes (strabismus) or a yellow or white spot in the pupil. Inherited cases—about 50 percent of all cases—usually affect both eyes. The tumors often can be visualized by careful examination of the eye. A CT scan also may detect other small tumors in other parts of the eye. TREATMENT Treatment depends upon the extent of the cancer. One involved eye can be removed along with as much of the optic nerve as possible and the other eye examined periodically. If both eyes are involved, the one with the more extensive disease often will be removed and the other treated with laser surgery, freezing (cryotherapy), radiation, and chemotherapy in an effort to eliminate the cancer while preserving as much eyesight as possible.

    Extractions: RETINOBLASTOMA DESCRIPTION: A malignant and life-threatening intraocular tumor which appears in children; 2/3rds appear before age 3, however, rare cases have been reported at almost every age. About 30% are bilateral. It usually is unnoticed until it has progressed to a point of producing a white pupil (unless it has caused a strabismus and is diagnosed earlier, since blind eyes in children will often turn inward). Generally, the earlier the tumor is discovered, the better the chance to treat it and prevent its spread through the optic nerve and orbital tissues. About 94% of these tumors are due to mutations, but survivors will pass the mutated gene on about 50% of the time. TREATMENT: Enucleation is the treatment of choice when the tumor is large; radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy are other possibilities. Occasionally, cryotherapy or photocoagulation are effective. When retinoblastoma is bilateral, enucleation is done on the worst eye first, with radiotherapy attempted on the other eye. If no improvement is observed, enucleation is done on the second eye. GENETIC COUNSELING IS ESSENTIAL.

GadFly BIOLOGICAL OVERVIEW In mammalian cells, the Retinoblastoma protein (RB) acts as a critical switch, regulating entry into the DNA synthetic phase (S phase) of the cell cycle . RB interacts with and negatively regulates members of a family of factors called E2Fs, which serve to activate transcription of genes required for entry into S phase. Phosphorylation of RB by cyclin/cyclin dependent kinases, the protein dimers that regulate the cell cycle, target RB for destruction, releasing E2F, thereby allowing E2F to carry out its function as a transcriptional activator. In mammals, RB is represented by a family of three closely related proteins: RB itself, p107 and p130. Drosophila Retinoblastoma-family protein (Rbf) was isolated by virtue of its ability to interact with E2F complexes containing Drosophila

The National Cancer Institute created the PDQ database to increase the availability of new treatment information and its use in treating patients. Information and references from the most recent published literature are included after review by pediatric oncology specialists. Cancer in children is rare. A team approach, incorporating the skills of the local physician, radiation therapists, pediatric medical oncologists/hematologists, rehabilitation specialists, and social workers, is imperative to ensure that patients receive the best treatment. In order for advances to be made in treating these patients, therapy is best delivered in the context of a clinical trial at a major medical center that has expertise in treating children. Only through entry of all eligible children into appropriate, well-designed clinical trials will progress be made against these diseases. Guidelines for pediatric cancer centers and their role in the treatment of pediatric patients with cancer have been outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics.[1]

Retinoblastoma occurs when a cell of the growing retina develops a mutation in the RB gene (a tumor suppresser gene). This mutation causes the cell to grow out of control and become cancer. Sometimes this mutation develops in a child whose family has never had eye cancer, but other times the mutation is present in several family members. If the mutation runs in the family, there is a 50% chance that an affected person's children will also have the mutation and a high risk of developing retinoblastoma. One or both eyes may be affected. A visible whiteness in the pupil may be present. Blindness can occur in the affected eye, and the eyes may appear crossed. The tumor can spread to the eye socket, and to the brain, by means of the optic nerve. This is a rare tumor, except in families that carry the RB gene mutation.
