Abstract
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy. In Europe, the incidence of uveal melanoma is approximately 8 cases per million people per year. In about 50% of cases, uveal melanoma metastasizes. Scientific papers on uveal melanoma published between 1 January 2018 – 1 March 2023, available in the PubMed database were analysed. Currently, methods such as enucleation, transpupillary thermotherapy, photodynamic therapy, eye plaque brachytherapy, proton beam therapy and stereotactic surgery are used to treat this cancer. In this paper we summarize the current knowledge about the classic treatment methods and the promising novel ones.
