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.
