Clinical observation of local resection or enucleation for uveal melanoma.
Local resection is an effective method for treating the uveal melanoma. The aim of this study is to evaluate the survival and clinical outcomes of patients with uveal melanoma treated by local resection or enucleation. ⋯ The survival outcomes of the patients with local resection were not worse than that of the patients with enucleation, and local resection could make the patient retain eye and partial visual functions. Hence, local resection may be an effective method for patients with uveal melanoma eligible for operation.
