What is Metastatic Uveal Melanoma Thereapeutics Market?
Uvea is present behind the sclera and cornea and consists of three parts, namely the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Uveal melanoma is known as cancer of the eye areas including the iris choroid and ciliray body. This is the condition in which the tumors arise from the melanocytes in the uva, which are responsible for the color of the eye. Although it is a rare condition, it is the most common form of intraocular malignancy in adults. Treatment for uveal melanoma depends on several factors, the most important of which is the size of the tumor. This type of melanoma is completely asymptomatic in the early stages. As the tumor enlarges over time, certain changes may be observed, such as pupil distortion, decreased visibility due to secondary retinal detachment, and blurred vision. Risk factors for this type of cancer include fair complexion, blue and green or light eyes, and older age. The role of the inherited genetic mutation in uveal melanoma is not yet known. According to the American Cancer Society, about nine out of ten melanomas of the eye develop in the choroid. The society also reported 2,730 new cases of uveal melanoma in the US in 2014.
