    Ocular malignant melanoma survival rates have not improved in a decade, with liver metastases being common. Further research into ocular melanoma is needed to enhance patient survival outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Ocular malignant melanoma is a rare but serious diagnosis.
    • Malignant melanomas constitute a significant proportion of ocular malignancies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical and epidemiological features of ocular malignant melanoma.
    • To assess survival rates and metastasis patterns over a 10-year period.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 99 ocular malignant melanoma cases in Alberta from 1967-1976.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, tumor cell types, survival data, and metastasis sites.

    Main Results:

    • Ocular melanomas accounted for 16% of all melanomas and 70% of ocular malignancies.

  • Mixed cell tumors were more common in women, while spindle cell tumors were more frequent in men.
  • The 5-year survival rate was 62%, with liver being the most common site for metastases (76%).

    • Conclusions:

    • There has been no improvement in ocular melanoma survival rates over the past decade.
    • Current therapeutic strategies for ocular melanoma require enhancement.
    • Further research is essential to improve patient outcomes for ocular melanoma.
