Abstract

Ocular tumors include intraocular tumors and tumors of the eyelid, orbit, conjunctiva and lacrimal apparatus. After seventy years of continued growth, ocular oncology in China, from small to large and from weak to strong, has made great achievements. Especially since the beginning of the new century, there has been all-round and rapid development. The mechanism of ocular tumorigenesis has been elucidated based on the biobank and animal models. New therapeutic techniques and treatment modalities have been established based on multi-center cohort studies. The team competence and the discipline level have been improved based on academic organization constructions and international exchanges. Looking into the future, ocular oncology in China will move on in gene detection and early diagnosis, basic research and drug targeting, interdisciplinary, intelligent diagnosis and treatment, clinical research and translational medicine, with the support of national strategies and scientific and technological innovation, to further improve the survival rate, the ocular salvage rate and the quality of life for patients with ocular tumors. This article is written to congratulate the Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology on the 70th anniversary of its publication. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2020, 56: 646-652).
