FYI, Fisher is the Jazz's starting shooting guard. He also backsup the point guard position, but the bulk of his minutes come at the 2-guard.

is it worth noting thatDerek Fisher's daughter just had surgery for this? He spoke about it in the post game interview just a few minutes ago.Maxterpiece04:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

     This should under no circumstances be included in a serious article. It is fill and not needed.     If any truly worldwide famous, people had it or made a big deal of it, thus making it a              reference of interest, it would be a maybe-case.Madskile21:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Genetical info is lacking. The disease is autosomal and dominantly linked, with a frequency of 1/25000. We need to find a reference. I don't have one.Madskile21:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

People have been trying to add info which may be under a 'normal' copyright.[1] Please don't add this until we are sure and have proof the org permits it, as it's against the wiki rules and possibly against the law. This protects other sites as well as wiki because we are not stealing text they might not want used, often people are not aware how the content on wiki can be used and they need to be sure they want to release the info under theGFDL.StickyParkin10:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any general info about the genetics of Rb can be found at pubmed (PMID: 2101724), as that section is uncited. Also, I think trilateral Rb should be mentioned as well (bilateral + pineoblastoma).Terren5 (talk)01:40, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we could add information about the increased incidence of other cancers for retinoblastoma survivors. Specifically, I am reading a lot about osteosarcoma and small cell lung cancer.Blackbird70 6:28, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

If you're readinghigh-quality sources, then please feel free to add the information yourself. It would normally go in a section called ==Epidemiology== at the end, or perhaps one called ==Prognosis==.

Be sure to include your sources. You might findthis citation formatter handy if you've looked up sources atPubMed.gov or if it's in a book with anISBN.WhatamIdoing (talk)19:12, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An earlier paragraph about genetic testing was removed in 2006. Was this because there was no evidence given? If so, I am happy to rework the paragraph to include citations.Nprigoda (talk)00:30, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits by myself and another editor (afterthis) have been undone.[2] Let's discuss what belongs in this article, and what doesn't. --Una Smith (talk)07:30, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that these issues should be handled separately. First: the external links are spam: they are unjustifiable underWP:EL; they violate the formatting conventions ofWP:EL by placing external links in text; they failWP:NOTLINK; they tend to make the page into a patient support resource instead of an encyclopedia article against the advice ofWP:MEDMOS#Audience; they violateWP:MEDMOS#External_links; the existence of a long list encourages the addition of other, similar links in ways that clearly violateWP:NOTDIR.

Finally -- IMO -- they assume that readers are primarily patients, which is not true, and that those (few) readers that are personally affected are too stupid to ask Mr Google about support resources, which is insulting. I think the entire list should be removed. If one or two websites have particularly good, detailed information, then I'm willing to compromise by listing one or two links,sans promotional descriptions, under ==External links==.WhatamIdoing (talk)15:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Sorry: I "let my heart rule my head". I thought "if this information about symptoms and who to contact saves a few children from going blind, then leaving this information in is worthwhile".Anthony Appleyard (talk)16:31, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which is a fine thing in its place, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a public health service. (That said, I can't imagine anyone reading about symptoms of a cancer, seeing them in someone else, andnot seeing a doctor over it; theopposite reaction is perhaps more likely.)

I've made the changes that seemed indicated from this discussion.WhatamIdoing (talk)04:57, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that they should be kept out, maybe find one that doesn't overtly advertise and is high quality and it can go in external links. I find it pretty unlikely that wiki will be anyones only source of information on this topic, besides, there are already plenty of high quality external links that people can go to and read further.Fuzbaby (talk)14:12, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Following the lead of the featured Wkikpedia Poland page on retinoblastoma, I am preparing a few paragraphs on genetic testing.Nprigoda (talk)12:04, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Coat's is a misspelling. The person behind was Georg Coats, and hence proper genitive is Coats'

    I noticed it was "Coats's Disease" and fixed it to "Coats' Disease ~Wikilgn
