Nation-Wide Trends in Incidence-Based Mortality of Patients with Ocular Melanoma in USA: 2000 to 2018.

Ocular melanoma and orbit melanoma are rare entities that are predominantly seen in Caucasian/White patients. This study shows that incidence-based mortality has been worsening for these patients in the past two decades. These entities have a poor prognosis and have not been studied extensively in immunotherapy trials. There is a need for new clinical trials to help improve mortality rates.
