Book Description
Survival rates in cases of uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma—the leading intraocular malignancies in adults and children—may be high, but means of earlier diagnosis and improved treatment options are needed to preserve vision and prevent metastasis. A timely volume with a unique scientific focus, Ocular Oncology is the only reference to deal principally with the molecular biology and genetic factors triggering and promoting the two most common ocular tumors.
