Secondary Eye Cancer

Secondary eye cancer, also known as metastatic eye cancer, occurs when cancer cells from another part of the body spread to the eye or surrounding areas. Unlike primary eye cancers that start in the eye itself, secondary eye cancer typically originates from cancers like breast, lung, or skin cancers. Symptoms may include vision changes, eye pain, or the appearance of a mass in the eye. Treatment often involves managing the primary cancer, and may include chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies, aiming to control the spread and alleviate symptoms while preserving vision.
