Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common eye cancer in children globally. The cancer develops from cells of the retina (back of the eye), and 80% of patients with retinoblastoma reside in low-income and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.<\/p>\n

In high-income countries the survival rate for Rb is nearly 100%, but until recently there was little research from low and middle-income countries (LMICs).<\/p>\n
