A member asked:
I was just diagnosed with ocular melanoma on my iris. what to expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment: If this is small or early, the involved iris can be resected. Some chemo therapy or radiation therapy is sometimes necessary. You will be followed closely by an ocular oncologist, a general oncologist and sometimes a radiation therapist. Best of luck.
