I had retinoblastoma in my childhood or My parents/ grandparents had retinoblastoma. Can my child also have it?

Having history of retinoblastoma in either of parents/ grandparents / brother/ sister is an important risk factor for developing this cancer. Children with such a history should get their retina examined at the earliest irrespective of presence of any complaints. If your first child has had retinoblastoma, its important to have retinal exam right after birth in the next one. Genetic testing is available which may help us predict chances of your next child having retinoblastoma.
