Скачать или смотреть How Will I Know If My Treated Eye Melanoma Is Recurring?

Once the ocular melanoma has been treated with radiation, the ocular oncologist monitors for treatment response and complications. Essentially, this means that at each follow-up appointment it is confirmed that the tumor remains dead and killed, and anything that might be treatable is discovered and acted upon. But what about between visits? Are there clues that I must act on so I won't miss a problem with my treated cancer? The short answer is - I am not aware of an instance where a patient knew of or suspected recurrence. But there are countless times when patients assume that something they notice might be recurrence, and it is not. Let your ophthalmologist or ocular oncologist see you to help sort out new symptoms, and always have your treated tumor checked.
