DEFINITION
Choroidal melanoma is a cancer of the eye that develops in a part of the eye called the choroid, the spongelike membrane that lies between the sclera (the white of the eye) and the retina. The choroid is rich in blood vessels and supplies nutrients to the retina, the light-sensitive back of the eye that sends visual information to the brain. Although choroidal melanoma is a rare form of cancer, it is the most common cancer that develops in the eye in adults.
CLINICAL SYMPTOMS
This cancer often doesn’t cause any symptoms in its early stages, so the tumor may grow for some time before the problem becomes noticeable. When symptoms occur, they include blurred vision, floaters, flashing lights, or severe eye pain. These symptoms also can be caused by many other, more common, noncancerous causes.

Got cancer Simple breath test can tell
Device Detects Disease Even Before Tumours Become Visible In X-Rays London: Scientists working on a breath test to detect cancer said they were now able to identify different types of the disease,in research to be published on Wednesday.
Their preliminary results,to be printed in the British Journal of Cancer,showed the researchers sensors could distinguish whether a patient had lung,breast,bowel or prostate cancer,irrespective of age,gender or lifestyle. Previous research,conducted at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in the northern port city of Haifa,found that they could largely distinguish between the breath of healthy patients and cancer sufferers.
