Clinical Trials for Eye Tumors
Eye tumors in dogs and cats can arise from multiple ocular structures, including uveal melanomas, limbal melanomas, and other intraocular masses. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to preserving vision and preventing metastasis. Clinical trials at veterinary universities are investigating advanced treatment approaches including targeted therapies and novel surgical techniques through funded research programs.
