Introduction

"Based on your ocular melanoma treatment options, you may have different types of doctors on your treatment team. These doctors may include:

  • An ophthalmologist: a medical doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the eye.
  • An ocular oncologist: a doctor (usually an ophthalmologist) who specializes in treating cancers of the eye.
  • A radiation oncologist: a doctor who treats cancer with radiation therapy.
  • A medical oncologist: a doctor who treats cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

Many other specialists may be involved in your care as well, including other doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and other health professionals." (From American Cancer Society)


When using the databases linked to below, always remember:

  • While very useful search tools, a list or database provided by any organization is not a directory of every physician in that specialty or of every medical center treating ocular melanoma.
  • A medical association will only include its own members in its database.


As part of your search for physicians and medical facilities that will meet your needs, you should also be receiving specific referral recommendations to consider from your current healthcare providers. In addition, you can reach out to resources listed on EyeMelanoma.org's Personal Support webpage for their suggestions and assistance as you make your decisions.
