Abstract:
We describe the psychological reactions after diagnosis and treatment of the malignant intraocular tumors: uveal melanoma and retinoblastoma. The chapter on uveal melanoma includes general consideration on the treatment of these tumors, the psychological effects on the patients, the professional and social problems, the follow-up after treatment and the results of recent studies on quality of life. For retinoblastoma we describe the treatments and results with the risk of second cancer, the follow-up of the patients, the psychological problems for parents and children and the specificity of the familial cases.
