Context

Retinoblastoma is one of the most common childhood cancer tumours. It can be treated particularly well, provided it is diagnosed in time. However, the visual prognosis can be compromised depending on the location of the tumour and the impact of treatment on the retina.

 

Supported project

In 2019-2020, L'OCCITANE Manosque and the Foundation supported the project of Institut Curie. The project aimed to finance a wide-angle digital camera to take photographs of the fundus of children with retinoblastoma (malignant intraocular tumor of the small child). The images obtained made it possible to complete the clinical ophthalmological assessment initial, to translate the discussion between professionals and the consultation meetings multidisciplinary and to optimize the care of these children throughout the follow-up. They allowed distance exchanges and teaching.
