Clinical spectrum, treatment and outcomes of uveal melanoma in a tertiary centre.

CONCLUSION: Our study supports the finding that UM in Chinese and Asian-Indian patients presents at a younger age than in Caucasians. Although rare, ophthalmologists should remain mindful of this life-threatening disease. We propose a national and regional registry for ocular tumours with genetic information to characterise the disease spectrum in Southeast Asia.
