different types of eye cancer
Cancers in the eye (intraocular cancers). Two types of cancers can be found in the eye. Primary intraocular cancers start inside the eyeball. In adults, melanoma is the most common primary intraocular cancer, followed by primary intraocular lymphoma.
There are several different types of intraocular eye cancer and all of them are very rare. Cancer that develops around your eye is called extraocular cancer. Extraocular cancers are more common. They are more common in older people, particularly those who have had a lot of sun exposure during their lives.
