Informed Consent for Choroidal Melanoma

We must remember that our patients have very limited knowledge of their cancer, our methods of diagnosis and treatment options. Therefore, it is necessary for the eye cancer specialist to educate their patient for shared decision making. This podcast describes how

any eye cancer specialist can approach informed consent prior to treatment of choroidal melanoma. It includes information about assessing the patient, visual aids and counseling.
