Radiotherapy has a survival advantage over surgery in patients with choroidal melanoma: a retrospective cohort study of 6,871 patients
Among patients diagnosed with choroidal melanoma, those who underwent radiotherapy alone exhibited significantly higher overall survival (OS) and choroidal melanoma-specific survival rates compared to those who received surgical intervention alone. However, for patients with advanced disease or evidence of metastatic spread, the individualization of treatment regimens remains critically important.
