Abstract

Choroidal tumors are an oncological pathology of significant importance due to their anatomical location and potential complications related to vision. These tumors encompass various neoplastic formations that develop within the choroidal layer, including choroidal melanoma, choroidal hemangioma, and choroidal metastasis. The management of choroidal tumors requires a multidisciplinary approach involving ocular oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and other specialists, with the primary goal of preserving visual function and minimizing treatment-related complications. The treatment options for choroidal tumors have evolved over time and include modalities such as radiation therapy, surgical resection, photodynamic therapy, and transpupillary thermotherapy. These therapeutic approaches aim to control tumor growth, preserve visual function, and maintain ocular and systemic health. However, despite advancements in these therapeutic strategies, each treatment modality carries specific risks of complications, which needs to be carefully assessed and managed.
