Overview
In 1809 James Wardrop first described retinoblastoma, with enucleation as his suggested treatment.[1]
Famous Cases
The condition of retinoblastoma reached the headlines in May 2007, when Utah Jazz point guard Derek Fisher revealed that his 10-month-old daughter had the condition. Fisher missed Game 1 and half of Game 2 of the 2007 NBA playoff series versus the Golden State Warriors to be with his daughter for her surgery in New York City.
