Q. Dias, Margarida; Providência, Joana; Monteiro, Madalena; Castela, GuilhermeINTRODUCTION: Patients under 5 years old with retinoblastoma require close monitoring under anesthesia to ensure early detection of new tumors. They undergo monthly observations after diagnosis and during the first 6 months after treatment, then observations are gradually spaced in time until the age of five. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a relatively new exam in monitoring retinoblastoma patients. The ...

The main genomic difference in this natural recombinant hare myxoma virus (ha-MYXV) is t...
