New scoring system predicts which eye cancer patients will fail radiation treatment

Researchers have developed a prognostic tool to identify uveal melanoma patients at risk of local treatment failure after plaque brachytherapy, a standard radiation approach for this rare eye cancer. Early identification of high-risk cases could help oncologists adjust treatment strategies and improve survival outcomes for patients facing this sight-threatening disease.
