Conjunctival Cancer

Conjunctival cancer is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the front of the eye and lining the eyelids. It can manifest as a growth or change in the appearance of the eye, often presenting symptoms like redness, irritation, or vision changes. Risk factors include sun exposure, certain viral infections, and immune system issues. Diagnosis is typically made through a biopsy, and treatment options may include surgery, radiation, or topical medications. Early detection is important for effective treatment, as it can lead to better outcomes.
