There is no predisposition for retinoblastoma by race or gender. Right and left eyes are affected equally. It is the most common intraocular tumor of the childhood. The incidence of retinoblastoma worldwide ranges from 1 in 14,000 live births to 1 in 34,000.[1] The mean age-adjusted incidence rate of retinoblastoma is 11.8 cases per million children aged 0-4 years in the USA and it is similar to rates reported from European countries and the age-adjusted incidence rate of retinoblastoma in the USA as well as bilateral cases (26.7%) versus unilateral cases (71.9%) remained stable from 1975-2004.[2] Here are some highlights listed by the SEER(Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results) about the incidence of retinoblastoma among children and adolescents.[3]
