Yes. According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the most common primary intraocular cancer in adults is uveal (ocular) melanoma, and in children it is retinoblastoma. Istanbul ocular-oncology centers offer eye- and vision-preserving options where possible: radiation such as plaque brachytherapy or charged-particle radiation, laser or thermotherapy, and surgery — local resection, or enucleation for large tumors. Retinoblastoma is treated with chemotherapy, including intra-arterial and intravitreal routes. This care is highly subspecialized, so a free case review confirms what your reports establish first, and you can verify a hospital's state authorization yourself.
