Practical Guide to Diagnosing and Treating Ocular Tumors provides practical guidance on the diagnosis and management of ocular tumors. This comprehensive guide highlights the strengths, limitations, and applications of all imaging modalities in ocular oncology. It not only discusses new treatments in ocular oncology (including belzupacap sarotalocan and darovasertib for uveal melanoma, mTOR inhibitors for retinal astrocytic hamartomas in patients with ocular involvement of tuberous sclerosis complex, and belzutifan for retinal hemangioblastomas in patients with Von Hippel Lindau disease), but also offers a comprehensive and practical review of the techniques, complications, and applications of well-established treatments.

Ophthalmologists and ocular oncologists will find this to be a practical guide to diagnosing and treating surface and intraocular tumors using a novel approach that will instruct readers on how to utilize and interpret multimodal imaging correctly to diagnose ocular tumors. Readers will gain an understanding of the risks and benefits of different treatment modalities and the most appropriate use scenario in each tumor type.
