Eye Cancer info
Cancer of the eye is uncommon. It
can affect the outer parts of the eye, such as the eyelid, which are
made up of muscles, skin and nerves. If the cancer starts inside the
eyeball it's called intraocular cancer. The most common intraocular
cancers in adults are melanoma and lymphoma. The most common eye cancer
in children is retinoblastoma, which starts in the cells of the retina.
Cancer can also spread to the eye from other parts of the body.
Treatment for eye cancer varies by the type and by how advanced it
is. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, freezing or heat therapy,
or laser therapy.
