Economic burden for retinoblastoma patients in China.

Children with Rb have a heavy economic burden. Direct non-medical expenses are higher. Getting medical treatment nearby can help reduce the economic burden of the disease. Besides, work-related issues are also a major financial problem for families with Rb, and the government should properly provide economic subsidies. Simplifying the national health insurance process and purchasing commercial supplementary medical insurance will increase the family's ability to afford the cost of cancer treatment.
