title: Retinoblastoma in New South Wales 1975 to 2001.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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
