Results indicated that survivors of retinoblastoma reported QoL and behavioral and emotional health within normal limits, although parents appear to perceive greater impairment across several assessed domains. Understanding both survivor and parent reports remains important for this population. Future research should explore psychosocial functioning of these survivors as they transition to adolescence and early adulthood, given the increased independence and behavioral and emotional concerns during these developmental periods.
