BACKGROUND
Early detection and timely referral are keys to improve survival in patients with retinoblastoma (Rb). In México, one of the main obstacles for an early diagnosis is the lack of knowledge of the disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate Rb comprehension in students in their last year of medical school.
PROCEDURE
A questionnaire was completed by 791 students from 12 universities. Descriptive statistics from the population were obtained and every answer to each question was analyzed.
RESULTS
Only 3.3% of the students got a proficiency grade. Less than 50% diagnosed Rb when an image was shown.
CONCLUSIONS
The students evaluated do not have the knowledge to detect the disease. It is necessary to develop continuous educational programs for first contact physicians.
背景
早期发现和及时转诊是提高视网膜母细胞瘤（Rb）患者生存率的关键。在墨西哥，早期诊断的主要障碍之一是缺乏对该病的了解。本研究的目的是评估医学生最后一年学生对 Rb 的理解。
过程
来自 12 所大学的 791 名学生完成了一份问卷。从人群中获得了描述性统计数据，并对每个问题的每个答案进行了分析。
结果
只有 3.3%的学生成绩合格。当显示图像时，不到 50%的学生能够诊断出 Rb。
结论
评估的学生没有发现疾病的知识。有必要为初级接触医生制定持续的教育计划。
