Most patients undergoing proton therapy for UM experienced mild, transient depressive symptoms and anxiety. Patients with high pre-treatment anxiety, unfavorable prognoses, and patients living alone may be more vulnerable to prolonged depressive symptoms. To these patients a more tailored support could be offered at an early stage of the disease.
