Abstract:
Trilateral retinoblastoma is the association of hereditary bilateral or unilateral retinoblastoma with a pineal neuroblastic tumour. We describe two cases of trilateral retinoblastoma from a total of 141 cases of retinoblastoma seen over an 8.5 year period. Both had a fatal outcome, with survival times of only 4 and 8 months respectively.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
