A Complete Guide to Eye Cancers; Types, Symptoms, and Treatments
Treatments For Eye Cancer

If an ophthalmologist discovers that the patient indeed does have ocular cancer, various treatment options have to be considered and discussed with a team of doctors. Treatment options depend on many factors, including the location of the tumor, stage of cancer and side effects of the chosen treatment on the patient. The patient will meet with other specialists such as radiation oncologist, medical oncologist and other medical experts who will help to guide them through the treatment stages. It is also advisable for a patient to see a counselor, attend support groups and openly discuss the future with their family as the treatment process may not be effective, and also to aid the patient in dealing with any eventuality and associated side effects.
