Practical Guide to Diagnosing and Treating Ocular Tumors

Practical Guide to Diagnosing and Treating Ocular Tumors provides ophthalmologists and ocular oncologists a practical guide to diagnosing and treating surface and intraocular tumors using a novel approach, dividing the topics by imaging and treatment modality instead of by diagnosis. This approach will instruct the reader to utilize and interpret multimodal imaging correctly to diagnose ocular tumors. Readers will gain an understanding of the risks and benefits of different treatment modalities and the most appropriate use scenario in each tumor.

Practical Guide to Diagnosing and Treating Ocular Tumors serves as a resource for researchers, fellows, and clinicians, providing practical guidance on diagnosis and management of ocular tumors. Over the years, there have been significant advancements in imaging modalities and treatment options for ocular tumors. Ocular oncology relies heavily on various imaging techniques to accurately diagnose and monitor tumors. This comprehensive guide highlights strengths, limitations, and applications of all imaging modalities in ocular oncology. Furthermore, advancements have been made in the treatment of ocular tumors. This book not only discusses new treatments in ocular oncology (including belzupacap sarotalocan and darovasertib for uveal melanoma, mTOR inhibitors for retinal astrocytic hamartomas in patients with ocular involvement of tuberous sclerosis complex, and belzutifan for retinal hemangioblastomas in patients with Von Hippel Lindau disease), but also offers a comprehensive and practical review of the techniques, complications and applications of well-established treatments.

• Provides practical guidance and highlights the integration of several imaging modalities into clinical practice, enabling clinicians to enhance their diagnostic and treatment planning skills and improve patient care
• Offers a detailed exploration of various treatment options available for ocular tumors, equipping clinicians with comprehensive information to treat tumors
• Serves as a valuable educational resource for trainees, covering fundamental concepts, imaging techniques, and treatment possibilities
