6 warning signs
Retinoblastoma
Suspicion of retinoblastoma?
You’ve come to the right place.
Remember: only a doctor can make a diagnosis.
Diagnosis
After an initial suspicion, an extensive examination in which the extent and form of the disease is clearly established is of the utmost importance.
It is the basic prerequisite for all further steps.
TREATMENT
The treatment of retinoblastoma is determined individually for each child, as the initial situation varies greatly from patient to patient.
Aftercare
Why?
Aftercare is essential to ensure that late effects and relapses are recognized and treated as early as possible.
Artificial EYES
In some cases, it is still unavoidable to remove the diseased eye, which makes it necessary to wear a permanent eye prosthesis.
CONSULTING
We offer professional support, exchange opportunities for parents of children with retinoblastoma, for survivors and strengthen resilience through targeted help.

Children with retionblastoma are entitled to free early intervention at a school for the blind and visually impaired.
