Retinoblastoma: some aspects concerning diagnosis, heredity, and treatment.

The authors set forth their views on the early diagnosis, heredity, and therapeutic problems of retinoblastoma. They regard as imperative the frequent ophthalmological check-up of familial tumors and of tumors of sporadic occurence, notably when they are bilateral. The further problems posed by the surviving patients are discussed in detail in the light of follow-up examinations extended up to 15 years.
