What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using color fundus photography as a method for monitoring uveal melanoma by comparing it to traditional sonography measurements. Experienced onco-ophthalmologists will assess the accuracy of two-dimensional measurements obtained from both imaging techniques. The study will include patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma and will analyze the correlation between the two methods of monitoring. The goal is to determine if color fundus photography can serve as a reliable alternative to sonography.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma.
Not a fit: Patients with inadequate or missing clinical information or those for whom imaging is not feasible will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a less invasive and more accessible method for monitoring uveal melanoma.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, there is evidence suggesting that similar comparisons have shown promising results, indicating potential for success.
