RETINOBLASTOMA IN FINLAND 1912–1964

The present study is based on a series of retinoblastoma patients diagnosed in Finland within a period from 1912 to 1964. A complete accumulation of cases was attempted for the assessment of relative frequencies of retinoblastoma during the period of study. The data were primarily intended for cancer demographers for the construction of incidence-rates of retinoblastoma in various parts of the world. Furthermore, as it has been suggested by Davies (1967) that retinoblastoma might be used as an index cancer to which the frequency of other cancers might be compared, special efforts to bring this cancer to light in different countries should be made.
