Retinoblastoma statistics
Retinoblastoma is the most commonly diagnosed eye cancer in Canadian children. It is rare in adults. Statistics on retinoblastoma and other eye cancers in adults are found in eye cancer statistics.
It can take several years to collect and confirm cancer data, so the number of new cancer cases (incidence) and deaths (mortality) from recent years may not be available for some time. The most recent data available are provided below.
Incidence and mortality
Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths due to cancer.
In 2019, there were 15 Canadian children aged 0 to 14 diagnosed with retinoblastoma.
In 2022, no Canadian children died from retinoblastoma.
