When 10‑month‑old Lincoln’s parents learned he had retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer in children, their world changed instantly. Today, thanks to an advanced, highly targeted treatment now available at Oklahoma Children’s OU Health, there is new hope for families facing this diagnosis.

Pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Feldman and a specialized, multidisciplinary team performed intra‑arterial chemotherapy, also known as IAC. This precise treatment delivers cancer‑fighting medicine directly to the tumor, helping protect a child’s vision while supporting long‑term health.

Because this advanced therapy is now offered in Oklahoma, families no longer need to travel out of state for specialized care. Lincoln’s story reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing innovative, lifesaving treatments closer to home for Oklahoma’s children.
