摘要
Purpose: To examine the epidemiology of retinoblastoma in New South Wales (NSW), from 1975 to 2001, comparing the incidence with other parts of the developed world. Methods: Examination of medical files for patients presenting to NSW retinoblastoma treatment centers between 1975 and 2001. Comparisons to international data were made. Results: One hundred twenty-eight patients [63 (49.2%) male and 65 (51.8%) female] presented. The mean annual incidence of retinoblastoma in NSW was 8 per million children aged 0 to 6 years, per year. Conclusions: The incidence of retinoblastoma in NSW is similar to other parts of the developed world.
