Ocular cancer

Ocular cancer

Eye cancer is a rare disease that develops in the cells in and around the eye. The cancerous tumour is a mass of cancerous cells that can invade and destroy the surrounding tissues. It can also spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumours of the eye can affect several structures in the eye, including the eyelids, conjunctiva, orbit and its appendages, and the eye itself. Uveal melanoma is the most common eye cancer in adults, with 500 to 600 new cases diagnosed each year in France. It can cause significant visual impairment. Most adult eye cancers start in the melanocytes, the cells that make melanin, the pigment responsible for the colour of the eyes, skin, hair and body hair. Intraocular lymphoma is a very rare eye cancer, with fewer than 30 cases each year. Eyelid tumours are represented by basal cell carcinomas, which are by far the most common and in most cases have an excellent prognosis. Retinoblastoma is the most common eye cancer in children, with around 50 new cases each year. It originates in the cells of the retina. Symptoms of eye cancer can include eye pain, blurred vision, vision loss, dark spots in the field of vision and redness or swelling of the eye.
