It is well known that retinoblastoma is prevalent in third world countries. In my surfing on the net, I’ve come across discussions on developing affordable treatment for patients in these countries.
In Tennessee, the Hamilton Eye Institute is preparing to host an international conference on retinoblastoma for third world countries. At this stage the news release states that Brazil, India and Jordan will be attending the conference.
I know Africa has a huge incidence of retinoblastoma. I only hope the benefits from the conference will reach countries that can’t attend.
