Sep 11, 2019 · The history of retinoblastoma (RB) goes back to 1597 when Pieter Pawius of Amsterdam described a tumor that resembled retinoblastoma. “Fungus haematodes” was the first term used to describe retinoblastoma. Later, the American Ophthalmological Society approved the term retinoblastoma in 1926.

Retinoblastoma was first identified in the 1500s and defined as a unique clinicopathologic entity in 1809. Until the mid-1900s, knowledge advanced sporadically, with technological developments of ophthalmoscopy and light microscopy, and with the introduction of surgical enucleation, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Retinoblastoma was first described as a specific entity by James Wardrop in 1809, with enucleation as his suggested treatment. Histologic studies including those of Flexner and Verhoeff and subsequent electron microscopy have given insights into its pathogenesis.

Retinoblastoma was described as early as in the 16 th century by Pawius, but it was Wardrop, in the early 1800s, who recognized it as originating from the eye and performed the first enucleation for it.

The first enucleation for retinoblastoma was advocated by James Wadrop in 1809, and the first cases in the United States were reported from New York Hospital in the later 1800s. By 1869 there were reports of survivors of retinoblastoma, and Hirschberg had a 5% survival rate.

There has been plenty of controvery over the discovery of Retinoblastoma. A man named Virchow first described the tumor as a retinal glioma in 1864. About 35 years later, Flexner and Wintersteiner noted that many similiarities existed between tumor rosettes and photoreceptors of …

Nov 1, 2019 · The RB1 gene is the first described human tumor suppressor gene and plays an integral role in the development of retinoblastoma, a pediatric malignancy of the eye. Since its discovery, the stepwise characterization and cloning of RB1 have laid the foundation for numerous advances in th …

In 1971, Knudson discovered that the ages of retinoblastoma diagnosis are consistent with one rate-limiting event in bilaterally affected patients (who have heritable disease) (median age at diagnosis 12 months), and with two rate-limiting events in unilaterally affected patients with no family history (who usually have the non-heritable form ...
