Eye Cancer(Ocular Carcinoma) Eye cancer is an umbrella term that refers to different cancers that may originate in any part of the eye or spread to the eye from other organs. Lymphoma, melanoma, and retinoblastoma are some types of eye cancers.
The eyeball, tear glands, and eyelids are likely to be affected by eye cancer.
There is a development of neoplasm because of RB1 gene inactivation in retinoblastoma. It results in abnormal growth of retinal stem cells. In melanoma, there is a spread of cancer cells to the subcutaneous tissue and lymph nodes. Oval-type cells represent epithelioid melanoma. Longer cells with tapering at both ends indicate spindle cell melanoma. Both types of cells denote mixed cell melanoma.
Vision issues - Haloes, floaters, blurry vision, shadows surrounding objects even in a brightly lit area. Presence of a mole - Involves an appearance of a dark mole in the white region. The mole continues to grow in size. Proptosis - Eye bulges out. Pain - Pain in the eye. Vision loss - It may be partial or total. Iris - Alteration in the colour of the iris. Eyelids - Presence of a lump surrounded by blood vessels.
The various stages of eye cancer may be determined using the TNM method.
The use of ultrasound for generating an image of the eye based on the findings of routine examination is a common practice. The study of blood vessels in the eye requires a Fluorescein Angiography test that uses a dye to detect eye cancer. A fine needle biopsy involves the removal of cells from the pupils for microscopic studies. Compound Tomography (CT) test helps precise detection of the tumour with three-dimensional imaging.
Survival rates of people with small eye carcinoma indicate that eight out of ten patients may recover fully to live up to five years after an early diagnosis and treatment. The survival rates for medium and large eye melanoma are 70% and 50%, respectively. They have a life span of five years after diagnosis.
A failure to treat eye cancer can lead to cancer spreading to distant organs of the body. The spread of eye cancer leads to partial and total loss of vision. The tumour may begin in the iris and spread slowly to involve ciliary glands. It may advance to the eye socket, eyeball, and optic nerve. There is the possibility of the tumour spreading outside the affected eye. The stage of metastasis begins with the involvement of lymph nodes.
