Melanoma of the iris is cancer of the eye.
Melanoma of the iris is usually discovered in the course of a routine eye examination because it will be visible to the ophthalmologist as he or she looks through the pupil in the center of the iris.
Normal results for a laser-assisted or conventional iridectomy are long-term lowering of IOP and/or complete removal of a melanoma on the iris.
In the case of cancerous growths, the doctor is usually able to see the tumor through the pupil or directly on the iris if the cancer is intraocular melanoma of the iris. Because the doctor can usually readily see the tumor a biopsy is rarely needed.
Melanoma is a non-communicable disease and is not transmitted as an infectious disease is. It is the spreading of the disease.

Melanoma Research was created in 1991.
The Clark scale looks at how deeply the melanoma has gone into the different layers of the skin The Breslow scale measures the thickness of the melanoma in the skin TNM staging of melanoma describes the thickness of the melanoma and whether there is any spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body Number stages of melanoma group together the depth of the melanoma and the TNM staging in a simpler way
