Patient-reported Outcomes and Quality of Life After Treatment of Choroidal Melanoma: A Comparison of Enucleation Versus Radiotherapy in 1596 Patients

Patient-reported outcomes and QoL were worse in patients who had undergone primary enucleation for choroidal melanoma. These outcomes may partly have been caused by factors predisposing to enucleation rather than enucleation itself, because enucleated patients tended to be older, with more advanced disease at presentation, and a worse prognosis for survival.
