Damato B, et al. - The presumption that patients treated with radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma enjoy a better quality of life (QoL) than patients who have undergone enucleation was tested by the researchers. In patients who underwent primary enucleation for choroidal melanoma, patient-reported outcomes and QoL were found to be worse. Rather than enucleation itself, these outcomes could have been caused by factors predisposing to enucleation, as enucleated patients tended to be older, with a more advanced disease at presentation, and a worse prognosis for survival.
