An Ocular Oncologist (an eye cancer specialist )can determine if
you have an eye cancer by performing a
complete clinical examination .The examination may include asking
questions about your medical history ,examining both eyes ,looking
into the eye at the tumor ,doing an ultrasound examination ,and
obtaining specialized photographs.
Biopsy is often indicated to diagnose tumors involving soft tissue
structures around the eye.
What is the Treatment of Eye Cancer ?
Your doctor will recommend treatment based on your medical
history and the findings from the eye examination .Many options
are now available to deal with eye cancers .
Surgery in eye and periocular (eye area)tumors is performed to
establish
diagnosis ,remove the tumor in toto or sometimes to debulk the
disease so that other modalities mentioned below can become
useful .
Debulk the tumor :
Surgical removal of as much of a tumor as possible. Tumor
debulking may increase the chance that
chemotherapy or radiation therapy will kill all the tumor
cells.
(1)Chemotherapy is the treatment of disease by means of
drugs that have a specific toxic effect upon the cancer cells .
Chemotherapy selectively destroy cancerous tissue.
(2)Cryotherapy is the use of low temperatures to treat
diseases.
Cryotherapy is applied under local anesthesia .The goal of
Cryotherapy is to freeze the cancer cells and cause their
destruction.
(3) Radiation Therapy uses high-energy radiation from x -
rays and other sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors .
Radiation that comes from a machine outside the body is
called extended -beam
radiation therapy as opposed to radiation that is administered by placing a radiation plaque over or very near the tumor (Internal Radiation Therapy or Brachytherapy ).External beam radiation therapy may be recommended for some lymphomas and orbital tumors .Radiation plaque therapy is recommended for Retinoblastoma or Choroidal Melanomas.
