什么是
视网膜母细胞瘤（
RB）？ 视网膜母细胞瘤是一种始于眼睛视网膜的癌症。 它可以进入眼睛和大脑。 视网膜母细胞瘤是儿童眼癌的最常见形式，在成年人中很少发生。
怎么才能知道 ？
因为视网膜母细胞瘤最常见于小孩，他们不能说什么时候视力不好，因此很难知道什么时候出了毛病。 但是最常见的症状是“发光”。在闪光灯开启的情况下拍照时，您会发现孩子的眼睛出现白色/黄色发光，而不是通常的红色发光。 其他症状可能包括看起来朝着不同方向的斜视，视力差，眼睛发红，眼睛肿胀以及看起来颜色改变的眼睛。 （帖子中有大多数这些症状的图片。）
该如何处理？
如果早期发现，化疗可以杀死视网膜母细胞瘤。 它可以通过端口给药（介入），注射到肿瘤附近或直接注射到眼睛中。 其他治疗方法可能包括放射治疗和激光治疗及冷冻。 如果癌症已经开始有进展，则摘除眼球手术可能是唯一的选择（请参阅最后一张图片）。
最重要的是，如果您认为有什么问题，请去看医生，尤其是当您注意到“发光”时，尽管它也很有可能是其他眼睛问题，但这绝不是一个好兆头。
iflovecouldcurecancer It ' s Retinoblastoma Awareness Week !
WHAT IS RETINOBLASTOMA ? Retinoblastoma is a cancer that begins in the retina of the eye . It can travel into either eye and the brain . Retinoblastoma is the most common form of childhood eye cancer , and it rarely occurs in adults .
HOW DO I KNOW ? Because retinoblastoma most commonly occurs in small children , they can ' t say when something is wrong with their vision , so it ' s hard to know when something is wrong . But the most common symptom is " the glow . " When taking a picture with the flash on , you will notice a white / yellow glow in your child ' s eye instead of the usual red glow . Other symptoms may include eyes that appear to be lookin in different directions , poor vision , eye redness , eye swelling , and eyes that seem to have changed color . ( There are pictures of most of these symptoms in the post . )
HOW CAN I TREAT IT ? If caught early , chemotherapy can be a treatment that kills retinoblastoma . It can be administered through a port , injected near the tumor , or injected right into the eye . Other treatments may include radiation and laser therapy . If the cancer has progressed , eye removal surgery may be the only option ( see last picture ) .
Most importantly , if you think something is wrong , go to the doctor , especially if you notice " the glow . Although it can be an indicator of other eye issues as well , it is never a good sign .
