Eye Tumor and Ocular Oncology

Eye Tumor and Ocular Oncology focus on diagnosing and treating tumors in and around the eye. These can be benign or malignant, including retinoblastoma, melanoma, and lymphoma. Early detection through imaging and biopsy is crucial for effective treatment. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. Ocular oncologists work to preserve vision and eye structure while removing or reducing tumors. Multidisciplinary approaches involving radiologists, pathologists, and geneticists enhance patient care. Advances in research are improving outcomes, offering hope for those affected by eye tumors.
