  Pain in or around the eye. This occurs mainly due to the pressure exerted by the tumor on the eye. Pain is rare in most eye cancers. It occurs when the cancer affects adnexal structures, nerves or spreads to other parts. Bulging of the eye. [news-medical.net]

• Pathologist

  Evaluation of the biopsy specimen should be performed by an experienced ophthalmic pathologist. If there isn’t an ophthalmic pathologist in your area, you can request that the histopathology slides be sent for second opinion. [eyecancer.com]

  The lesion is then sent to an expert eye pathologist for a definitive reading. [premiermedicalbaldwin.com]

Stages and Outlook (Prognosis) After a cancer diagnosis, staging provides important information about the extent of cancer in the body and anticipated response to treatment. [cancer.org]

• Ultrasound may be necessary • Treatment – enucleation, local resection, radiotherapy • Prognosis is poor as presentation is usually late 6. [slideshare.net]

Prognosis The outlook depends on the size of the tumor when it's diagnosed. The prognosis is better if the cancer is contained within the eye and has not spread to other parts of the body. [drugs.com]

Melanoma Malignant tumor often detected when small size so prognosis is usually favorable. Nevus Benign tumor that classically remains stable. Can lead to reduced visual acuity. Can transform into melanoma. [isoo.org]
