Eye Melanoma Unveiled

Eye Melanoma Unveiled: Cutting-Edge Diagnosis, Revolutionary Treatments and Advanced Drug Delivery addresses the recent advancements in novel drug delivery systems for the diagnosis and treatment of eye melanoma. Featuring contributions from scientists worldwide, it provides a detailed exploration of advanced drug delivery techniques employed in uveal melanoma treatment. The book begins with an overview of uveal melanoma, discussing its epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, and molecular mechanisms. It also covers the imaging techniques and diagnostic methods crucial for accurate disease identification. Despite stable incidence rates over the past three decades and improved local treatments, survival rates for uveal melanoma have not significantly changed. Recent developments in genetics and cytogenetics have enhanced prognostication and the identification of cancers with high metastatic potential. Eye Melanoma Unveiled: Cutting-Edge Diagnosis, Revolutionary Treatments and Advanced Drug Delivery is an essential reading for drug formulation and delivery specialists, eye oncologists, translational researchers, and life scientists.
