Retinoblastoma is considered a prototype pediatric malignancy as retinoblastoma research has been instrumental in advancing our knowledge of cancer genetics, tumor suppressor genes, and the development of new treatment approaches. Also, retinoblastoma boasts one of the highest survival rates among pediatric cancers, with survival rates often exceeding 90% in developed countries. The research focus is shifting towards improved globe and vision salvage. Also, there is emphasis on advancing treatments that are tailored based on individual patient characteristics, including tumor genetics and molecular markers, to improve outcomes and minimize side effects.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
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,...

Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
