Uveal Melanoma

Uveal melanoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye. This layer includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Uveal melanoma is the most common primary eye cancer in adults and can lead to vision loss or other serious complications. Symptoms may include blurred vision, dark spots in the vision, or changes in the appearance of the eye. Diagnosis typically involves an eye examination and imaging tests. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, or other targeted therapies, depending on the size and location of the tumor.
