Understanding Ocular Melanoma, with Dr Li-Anne Lim and Professor Anthony Joshua

Spot On Podcast by MSCAN

Ocular melanoma is a less common type of melanoma that can be found in different parts of the eye.

It affects one in 6-8 million people, and like any melanoma or skin cancer, is better when diagnosed early.

In this episode we delve into:

• the symptoms and what potentially causes an ocular melanoma
• How it may be diagnosed and the level of risk
• treatment options and a treating team
• What happens after treatment
• And clinical trials around ocular melanoma.

To help us understand more about ocular melanoma, we're fortunate enough to speak with Dr Li-Anne Lim, an ophthalmologist and ocular oncologist, with a special interest in managing patients with cancer of the eye. We also speak with Professor Anthony Joshua, medical oncologist, and Chair of the Australian Ocular Melanoma Alliance.
