眼科学

Faculty members in the Department of 眼科学 diagnose and treat all forms of ocular and periocular malignancies.

• 怀疑 intraocular choroidal malignant melanomas can be detected during routine ophthalmic examinations and followed photographically with fluorescein angiography and ultrasonography for evidence of progression that might indicate malignancy.
• 视网膜母细胞瘤, intraocular malignancies of childhood, can also be directly visualized within the eye during examination. With early detection, the cure rate for this tumor is excellent. More is known about the genetic basis for cancer in retinoblastoma than in any other human tumor. The exact chromosome location and DNA sequence alterations that cause this tumor can now be characterized. This has been immensely helpful in establishing patient prognosis and in genetic counseling of family members.
• 眼周的肿瘤 arising from the conjunctiva, 眼睑皮肤, and from within the orbit can also be detected with careful examination. Various treatment modalities including surgery, 放射治疗, 电干燥法, and cryotherapy are employed in the management of these tumors. Both diagnosis and monitoring of treatment course are enhanced with the use of ophthalmic photography, 计算机断层扫描, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography.
• 局部切除某些 结膜恶性肿瘤 with advanced reconstructive techniques can now be performed, 在某些情况下, to avoid previous techniques involving removal of the eye.
• 艾滋病的流行 皮癌 nationwide has not escaped the ophthalmologists, and we are diagnosing and treating an increasing number of eyelid and periocular cutaneous malignancies. Surgical excision with frozen-section control of the surgical margins, followed by reconstruction with ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgical techniques, is generally regarded as the best method for treatment of these conditions. 早期发现至关重要.

多学科方法

A multidisciplinary approach to the management of certain tumors, with the ophthalmologist working in conjunction with neurosurgeons, 耳鼻喉科专家, 整形外科医生, 皮肤科医生, 肿瘤学家, 和radiotherapists, can greatly improve the care of patients with these disorders. The University Hospital environment is ideal for this team approach.
