Uveal melanoma
New treatment can avoid removal of the eye
Treatment of uveal melanoma by CyberKnife requires very delicate handling and experience is very important. For this reason we refer all uveal melanomas to the European CyberKnife Centre in Munich, Germany
Further details of the new procedure to treat uveal melanoma will be available shortly from our website for doctors and medical charities www.mhlmedical.com
Further details
Uveal melanoma is cancer of the eye which involves the iris, ciliary body, choroid or a combination of these. A variety of treatments is available but in severe cases complete removal of the eye can be required.
Now a new procedure has been developed at the European CyberKnife Centre in Munich (ECZM) which avoids the need for this drastic step. It involves a single-session treatment where retrobulbar anesthesia, CT scanning, planning and treatment by CyberKnife® radiosurgery are all performed within a time frame of about two hours.
