-*Cessation of smoking
-*Reduction in sun exposure
-*Reduction in exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., x-rays and CT scans)
-*Children with familial or bilateral retinoblastoma have an increased risk for second cancers elsewhere in the body such as in the skin, soft tissue and bone. Lifelong monitoring for second cancers is advised in these patients.
-* Patients with heritable retinoblastoma are at risk for trilateral retinoblastoma, and may benefit from routine MRI screening during the first five years of life
