Survival rates in cases of uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma - the leading intraocular malignancies in adults and children - may be high, but means of earlier diagnosis and improved treatment options are needed to preserve vision and prevent metastasis. This reference deals principally with the molecular biology and genetic factors which trigger and promote the two most common ocular tumours. ...Presents clinical overviews of uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma, including the epidemiology and genetics, the chromosomal rearrangements, and the identification of genes involved in tumorigenesis. Discusses the latest clinical trials, as well as the most effective treatments for these conditions.
