Eyes with melanoma (eye tumors), how to treat, whether it has become cancerous

Patient's question:

My mother recently discovered that her intraocular pressure has increased. After examination, it was found that a high-density nodular mass had grown inside her eye. The doctor said it was a tumor (commonly referred to as an eye tumor in layman's terms), and there is a possibility that it could be a malignant tumor.

Doctor's answer:

The nature of the tumor must be determined through fundus examination, MRI, B-ultrasound, and other tests. The final diagnosis still relies on postoperative pathological examination. Benign tumors can be locally excised; malignant tumors, if small, can be treated with radiotherapy or local surgical excision. If they are larger, the eye must be removed to prolong life.
