... melanoma declined ocular treatment (plaque brachytherapy, n = 7 [78%]; enucleation, n = 2 [22%]). The choroidal melanomas were small ( n = 1 [11%]), medium ( n = 5 [56%]), and large ( n = 3 [33%]) in size (COMS criteria). The sociodemographic profile of the study patients was not different from those...
