Victory for childhood eye cancer campaign

A children's cancer charity says it is celebrating its first campaign victory after information on retinoblastoma was published by the National Health Service in the UK.

The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) launched a campaign urging the Dept of Health to publish details after parents complained they were not getting enough information about the disease.

Now, after working with the content team at NHS Choices website, general information on retinoblastoma is finally available to the public.

The NHS Choices information on retinoblastoma can be found at
