Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Oncology

Background:

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy.
Choroidal melanoma is the most frequent site of uveal melanoma.
Treatment for choroidal melanoma has evolved from enucleation to diverse therapeutic modalities.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the indications and complications of various choroidal melanoma treatment techniques.
To focus on the surgical resection methods: endoresection and exoresection.
To analyze the role of adjuvant radiotherapy in surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

Review of published data from indexed journals and books.
Analysis of treatment options including radiotherapy, laser photocoagulation, thermotherapy, and surgical resection.
Focus on transscleral (exoresection) and internal (endoresection) surgical approaches.

Main Results:

Radiotherapy is a primary treatment in many centers, often used adjunctively with surgery.
Preoperative stereotactic radiotherapy and postoperative brachytherapy can decrease recurrence.
Surgical resection (endoresection and exoresection) is a key therapeutic option.

Conclusions:

Surgical resection is a viable and important treatment for choroidal melanoma.
Combination therapy with radiotherapy enhances surgical success by reducing recurrence.
The choice of treatment depends on tumor characteristics and patient factors.
