Animation — Understanding Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

This animation provides an overview of metastatic uveal melanoma, and how it is diagnosed and treated. Watch to learn about how uveal melanoma (also referred to as ocular melanoma) can spread beyond the eye, the importance of follow-up scans, and the factors that may affect your risk for developing metastatic uveal melanoma. You'll learn how treatment decisions are made, including the role and importance of HLA testing, and get a brief overview of available options, including systemic therapies (whole-body treatment), liver-directed treatments, and clinical trials. The animation also highlights supportive resources for patients, helping you understand your choices and stay informed as you navigate your care.
