[Current aspects of treatment for choroidal melanomas: problems, controversial questions].
Based on the data available in the literature and her own experience, the author gives data on the efficiency of existing procedures for local resolution of choroidal melanomas (such as mono- and combined therapies). Indications for their use are defined. In the author's opinion, the groundless broadening of indications for organ-saving treatments for choroidal melanomas negatively affects vital prognosis. It is suggested that the unified algorithm of examination of treated patients should be developed, which may objectify evaluation of the efficiency of local resolution of choroidal melanomas.
