drugs to treat cancer. The drugs can
be injected into a certain part of the
body (such as the liver), or they can
be injected into a vein (through an IV

different factors, including your type of eye
cancer and where in the eye the cancer is.

27. Ocular tumor treatment
Radiation and chemotherapy are two
common types of treatment for ocular
tumors. Radiation can be in the form of
proton beam radiation or placement of
radiation plaque A type of radiation
radiation plaque A type of radiation
therapy used to treat eye tumors. A thin
piece of metal (usually gold) with
radioactive seeds placed on the eye. Both
can be very effective in eliminating a
