[TNM classification of malignant ocular tumors]
Abstract:
The article presents contemporary TNM classification of malignant ocular tumors. This classification allows to establish the prognosis of the disease correctly and to choose proper treatment strategy. According to this classification, it is possible to compare results of the treatment and to communicate with the doctors and hospitals at the national and international level as well. It is necessary to acquaint the doctors especially in postgraduate courses with this classification, although the malignant ocular tumors represent only 0.2-0.5% of all tumors.

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
