Abstract:

Prognostic significant signs of early uveal melanoma were revealed in 51 patients before and 3 months after a single transpupillary thermotherapy session using spectral domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging, that allows planning of appropriate eye-preserving treatment.
