WHAT IS THE HUMAN EYE CANCER?
.
Eye cancer is a general term used to describe many types of tumors that can begin in various parts of the eye. It occurs when healthy cells in or around the eye change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign or cancerous. A benign tumor means the tumor can grow but not spread. Ninety percent of the tumor tissues that appear in the eye develop benign, and it should be known that these tissues do not cause eye cancer.
A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. Eye cancer is rare. It can affect the outer parts of the eye, such as the eyelid, which consists of novelties, skin and nerves. If the cancer begins inside the eyeball, it is called intraocular cancer.
