Roger Olofsson Bagge, MD, PhD, Gothenburg University, Gothenburg, Sweden, gives an overview of current unmet needs within the field of uveal melanoma. Novel treatment strategies for this subtype of melanoma are limited with tebentafusp, a bispecific fusion protein for HLA-A*2-positive patients and isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) being the only options. Dr Bagge highlights the need for additional therapies and mentions the phase I SCANDIUM II trial (NCT04463368), which will investigate IHP with ipilimumab and nivolumab. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2022 Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL.

Uveal melanoma, or ocular melanoma, is the most common eye cancer diagnosed in adults, affecting approximately 2,500 people in the United States each year. Unrelated to skin melanoma, uveal melanomas often have no signs or symptoms, underscoring the importance of regular dilated retina exams for early diagnosis and treatment to safeguard sight. On this episode of ASRS’s Retina Health for Life, Dr. Prithvi Mruthyunjaya of Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University joins Dr. Timothy Murray to discuss treatment advances made possible by retina specialists that are helping more people with the condition preserve their vision.

Herein, I discuss how to differentiate between a choroidal nevus and small choroidal melanoma. Dr. Finger's mnemonic MOST, for that purpose. You will learn when to refer a choroidal nevus for evaluation by an eye cancer specialist. Why laser therapy, including PDT, have offered poor rates of local control for decades. Lastly, learn about Dr. Finger's experience with anti-VEGF therapy for radiation retinopathy including early treatment to prevent or delay vision loss as well as the need for continuous periodic therapy (for most patients).
