Retinoblastoma (Rb) is a primary intraocular cancer that develops in the eyes of young children most often under the age of 5 years.Access to the acueous humor AH of eyes with active Rb has enabled the first-ever genetic analyses of Rb tumors in situ (ie, without enucleation). This is the first time that retinoblastoma tumor DNA has been available from eyes before they were enucleated.
