World Retinoblastoma Awareness Week
World Retinoblastoma Awareness Week is observed globally in May, usually during the second week (11th-17th), to raise awareness about retinoblastoma. This rare and aggressive eye cancer primarily affects young children, typically under the age of five. The awareness week aims to educate the public and healthcare professionals about early detection, prompt treatment, and support for affected families. A white glow in a child's eye, seen in flash photos or dim light, is the most common early sign of this cancer. Ninety percent of children are diagnosed because a parent sees this sign, but the time delay between first seeing the sign and seeking medical help is often several months or more. Ninety-six percent of children are cured today in the developed world, but many lose one or both eyes or suffer significant vision loss due to late diagnosis. Curative treatment often has lifelong physical and psychosocial impacts on young children.
