Choroidal melanoma is a rare and deadly cancer. Nursing care for these patients involves ophthalmic clinical expertise as well as psychosocial and emotional support. Although past research has been helpful in determining the prognosis of these patients, it is impossible to predict with certainty which patients have tumors or nevi that will grow, will compromise their vision, or will kill them. Providing emotional support, establishing a good rapport with the patients and their support persons, and encouraging patients to schedule and adhere to their mutually agreed on follow-up appointments are nursing interventions that may save or prolong a patient's life.
脉络膜黑色素瘤是一种罕见的致命癌症。对这些患者的护理需要眼科临床专业知识以及心理社会和情感支持。尽管过去的研究有助于确定这些患者的预后，但不可能确切预测哪些患者的肿瘤或痣会生长、会损害他们的视力或会导致死亡。提供情感支持、与患者及其支持人员建立良好的关系，以及鼓励患者安排并坚持双方商定的后续预约，这些护理干预措施可能会挽救或延长患者的生命。
