Uveal Metastases Therapy

Uveal metastases occur when cancer spreads to the uveal tract of the eye, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Treatment generally focuses on controlling the primary cancer, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach for eye metastases. Options include radiation therapy to shrink the tumors, targeted therapies to attack specific cancer cells, or systemic treatments that address the overall cancer. In some cases, laser therapy or surgery may be necessary to alleviate symptoms. The goal is to preserve vision while managing the underlying cancer effectively.
