Abstract
RETINOBLASTOMA IS THE MOST COMMON INTRAOCULAR TUMOR IN CHILDREN. IN SPITE OF THAT, AWARENESS OF THIS DEADLY DISEASE REMAINS DISMAL AMONGST GENERAL OPHTHALMOLOGISTS WHO ARE THE FIRST ONES TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THESE CASES.
WITH THIS IC, OUR AIM IS TO SIMPLIFY THE UNDERSTANDING OF A DISEASE THAT CAN PRESENT ITSELF IN A VARIETY OF WAYS, AND CAN BE INTIMIDATING TO BEGIN WITH. THIS WOULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH A VERY PRACTICAL, SIMPLIFIED AND CASE ORIENTED APPROACH BY SOME OF THE MOST EMINENT NAMES IN THE FIELD OF OCULAR ONCOLOGY. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF NEWER TREATMENT OPTIONS HAS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS. THE COURSE WILL BE SUCH THAT ATTENDEES WILL TAKE BACK IMPORTANT KEY POINTS TO HELP THEM GAIN CONFIDENCE IN DIAGNOSING, GETTING AN UNDERSTANDING OF AVAILABLE TREATMENT OPTIONS AND CORRECT MANAGEMENT PROTOCOLS. SO THAT THESE CHILDREN CAN BE TREATED AND FAMILIES GUIDED IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY.
