Ocular Oncology and Eye Tumors

Ocular Oncology and Eye Tumors

The new Ocular and Orbital Oncology Service at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford is one of only a small number of centers in California and throughout the nation which provide dedicated care for intraocular and periocular cancers for adults and children.

Fellowship-trained subspecialists on the Ocular and Orbital Oncology Service deliver a full range of innovative approaches to manage tumors of the eye, conjunctiva, iris, retina, and choroid;  eyelid, tear duct, and orbital and periorbital structures. Care is also provided to the cancer patient with treatment-related vision side effects. 

Ocular and orbital tumor treatments are performed by a Stanford multi-disciplinary team that includes medical and radiation oncologists, otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, and social workers in the Stanford Health Care and the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital to provide integrated, multidisciplinary care.
