Greetings!
National Retinoblastoma Foundation offers an integrated multispecialty facility for most cost-effective and comprehensive management of retinoblastoma at the Centre for Sight Superspeciality Eye Hospital, Hyderabad.
The Centre, over the last four years, has performed over 7000 active treatment sessions for children with retinoblastoma, with 99% life salvage, 95% eye and 90% vision salvage.
Technologically and in management expertise we are on par with the most advanced facilities in the World, and have successfully initiated safety-enhanced intravitreal chemotherapy for refractory vitreous seeds with 100% success, and very effective highly specialized triple-drug superselective ophthalmic artery intra-arterial chemotherapy.
Ruthenium 106 plaque brachytherapy is available in-house at the Centre for Sight, Hyderabad, significantly bringing down the cost of care.
In association with CanKids, we have now initiated free treatment for children with retinoblastoma from deserving families
. We thank CanKids for their kind support.
We urge you to join hands in fighting retinoblastoma - please spread awareness about the significance of recognizing it early, white reflex as its easily recognizable presenting sign, and that it is eminently curable if it is managed appropriately!
Thank you.
