| Retinoblastoma is an aggressive childhood eye cancer that kills more than 7,000 youngsters every year. |
 |
| The most common early sign of retinoblastoma is a white glow in the child's eye. This cancer is easy to diagnose, and treatment is very effective when tumours are found early. In developed countries, survival is above 96%, but 95% of children experience moderate to severe vision loss or complete blindness. Suffering is highest in developing countries where most affected children live and few survive. Increasing access to specialist care will bring the promise of life and sight to every child. This is the mission of Daisy's Eye Cancer Fund. We: • Educate about retinoblastoma to achieve early diagnosis and rapid referral to specialist care; • Empower medical teams to deliver sustainable high quality evidence-based care • Enable family support programs that reduce burdens and improve access to essential care |
