Summary |
This book of 18 chapters by leading clinicians spans the current field of ocular melanoma, from molecular genomics of tumor development, to advanced imaging including high-resolution echography and enhanced depth spectral domain optical coherence tomography, through combined primary treatment approaches including brachytherapy plus intravitreal bevacizumab, and concluding with systemic imaging and both potential adjuvant therapy along with novel strategies for managing metastatic ocular melanoma |
