The Ocular Oncology Program at Smilow Cancer Hospital cares for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the eye, the eyelids, and the orbit. It is one of only a few centers in the nation dedicated full-time to ocular oncology within a cancer hospital. As most cancers of the eye and orbit are rare, treatment at a center with extensive expertise and experience is important. Our ocular oncology team is dedicated to individualized and integrated care for each patient. The Ocular Oncology Program at Smilow collaborates with caregivers in other specialties including melanoma, breast cancer, neuro-oncology, radiation oncology, pediatric oncology, and lung cancer. We treat the following conditions: Tumors and cancers of the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, lacrimal gland, and orbit Intraocular tumors of the iris, ciliary body, choroid, retina and optic disc Ocular melanoma Retinoblastoma Ocular metastases Lymphoma Hemangioblastoma Hemangioma Astrocytoma Nevus von Hippel-Lindau Tuberous sclerosis Gliomas

The eye and its surrounding structures (eyelids, orbit) represent a unique portion of the human anatomy. The eye itself is an incredibly complex structure, composed of specialized “layers“ of tissue, each with a specific histology and function. The Ophthalmic Pathology Program evaluates the broad range of specimens received from in and around the eye, including the skin of the eyelid, the conjunctiva, the cornea, the orbit, and the globe (eyeball). This includes both inflammatory and neoplastic lesions. Our services include examination of the following: Corneal degenerations Transplant rejection Keratoconus Conjunctival proliferations and neoplasms Eye trauma Inflammations of the eyelids Tumors of the eyelids Lesions of the lacrimal system Inflammation Tumors of the eye
