Large Transverse Colon Polyp - EMR in a patient MYH-associated polyposis
Large Transverse Colon Polyp - EMR in a patient MYH-associated polyposis administrator 2 Views • 2 years ago

Problem: Multiple polyps in a woman with MYH-associated polyposis who was recommended to undergo colectomy. She preferred to get the large polyp removed to buy time, despite the recommendation to undergo surgery as she could not take time out for surgery.
Polyp: Large polyp occupying nearly 40% of circumference. Notice tattoo mark close to the polyp (one should avoid it as this causes scarring and makes resection technically difficult).
Piecemeal EMR: Sequential injection of dilute Indigo Carmine followed by snare resection. Small central tethered area was biopsied and submitted in a separate jar; rest of the polyp in a different jar. Closure was hard due to scarring from prior tattoo injection into the base of the polyp and large size of resection.
Plan: Recommend surgery

Dr Svetlana Cherepanoff presents an introduction to ocular melanoma pathology at the 1st Australasian Ocular Melanoma Summit, held at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney on May 3rd-4th, 2019.

The Australasian Ocular Melanoma Alliance (AOMA) presents the 1st Australasian Ocular Melanoma Summit. The AOMA group was founded in late 2017 by Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials Ltd to support clinicians and researchers from all disciplines to develop, seek funding for, and collaborate on clinical trials in ocular melanoma.

How I Lost My Eye - My Ocular Melanoma Story - Enucleation to Prosthetic Eye Time-lapse Healing
How I Lost My Eye - My Ocular Melanoma Story - Enucleation to Prosthetic Eye Time-lapse Healing administrator 2 Views • 2 years ago

On February 22nd 2022, I had my left eye surgically removed due to ocular melanoma, a rare eye cancer that affects about 2500 people a year in the USA. This video documents my recovery and healing after enucleation.

Because of the large size of the tumor (16mm wide by 7mm deep), the closeness to my center of vision and my retina detachment due to fluid leaking from the tumor, I was a poor candidate for brachytherapy ( radiation plaque). Radiation damage would had left me functionally blind in that eye along with probable cataracts and glaucoma.

Once I knew I was removing my eye (enucleation) I bought an eye patch to practice one-eyed living. I quickly discovered that I had full depth of perception with only one eye.

I bought a pair of swim goggles and blackened out the left frame. Then I waited for the sun to go down. I I caught my first wave easily and surfed like I had two eyes.

I knew then that everything was going to be fine. One eyed living would be grand.

But losing the eye is the easy part. The hard part is the lifelong risk of metaization in the liver and lungs. That's what makes this cancer so deadly. It likes to spread in the blood and is particularly fond of taking up residency in the liver.

There are no cures at the moment. So getting metastization is a game of whack-a mole where you keep treating the lesions while they keep trying to come back.

As of this date, June 2nd, 2022 I am cancer free.

My Uveal Melanoma Journey - Lani Lee
My Uveal Melanoma Journey - Lani Lee administrator 0 Views • 2 years ago

The video is not fully complete but we wanted to share what footage we have of Lani Lee from our Melanoma Patient Information Session in Toronto 2017. Lani shares her "atypical story" which started 40 years ago. Uveal melanoma is a cancer (melanoma) of the eye involving the iris, ciliary body, or choroid (collectively referred to as the uvea). Tumors arise from the pigment cells (melanocytes) that reside within the uvea giving color to the eye.

Behind the Mystery of Uveal Melanoma
Behind the Mystery of Uveal Melanoma administrator 3 Views • 2 years ago

Melanoma is a type of cancer that usually affects the skin, but uveal melanoma is a disease in which cancer cells form in the eye. Many times, it does not cause any symptoms, and it is often detected during a dilated eye exam, which is performed during a routine eye exam.

About 50% of all uveal melanoma cases will metastasize or spread to other areas of the body. Due to its rarity, it is recommended that patients visit a specialty care center that has experience treating this rare type of cancer.

We spoke with Dr. Orloff, a medical oncologist from the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, to learn more about this disease. We also spoke with Lindsay from Denver, Colorado, who shared her experience with uveal melanoma and how it affected her life.

Proton Beam Therapy and Plaque Brachytherapy for Uveal Melanoma
Proton Beam Therapy and Plaque Brachytherapy for Uveal Melanoma administrator 1 Views • 2 years ago

Uveal melanoma is very rare, with an annual incidence of about 5 to 6 per million people and requires specialized advanced treatment. Northwestern Medicine is one of the few institutions in the U.S. offering both proton beam therapy and plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma.

Here, Chris Bowen, MD, an ophthalmic oncologist and retina surgeon at Northwestern Medicine, discusses these treatment modalities, offered by his multidisciplinary team, that allow for personalized care and improved outcomes.

Diagnosed at 19 with ocular melanoma, a rare form of eye cancer, Britta Fortson was cancer-free for 20 years.

In 2015, after learning her ocular melanoma had returned and spread to her liver, Britta came to MD Anderson where she is receiving immunotherapy treatment as part of a clinical trial.
