Uveal Melanoma
摘要
In this chapter, we review the current state of the art for uveal melanoma. Diagnosis, prognosis, and disease management are reviewed with special attention to the latest developments in molecular genetics. We also review the many eye conserving options for treatment of this disease with a special focus on advanced episcleral plaque brachytherapy. Modern therapeutic advances have now reached a point that nearly all eyes can be managed in a conservative manner with significant visual preservation for most patients.
