Eye Cancer
Eye cancer refers to malignant growths within or around the eye, including retinoblastoma in children and ocular melanoma in adults.
Early diagnosis through ophthalmic evaluation and imaging improves both survival and vision outcomes.
Management may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or laser therapy based on type and extent.
