Ocular Cancer Treatment in Maui 

Ocular cancer shouldn’t disrupt your life. Traditional treatments can be lengthy and uncomfortable. But with TrueBeam®, a revolutionary FDA-approved technology at Pacific Cancer Institute (PCI), it’s different.

TrueBeam delivers targeted radiation with exceptional accuracy, allowing most patients to complete treatment in just a few outpatient sessions. This minimizes disruption and maximizes your comfort.

At Pacific Cancer Institute, we prioritize both precision and patient experience. TrueBeam offers a brighter future for ocular cancer patients in Maui.

What is Ocular Cancer? 

Ocular cancer, although less common than other cancers, can develop in various parts of the eye. It’s important to understand that the eye itself is a complex organ, containing tissues like the iris (colored part), retina (light-sensitive layer), and choroid (blood vessel layer). Ocular cancer can affect any of these structures, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment.

Ocular cancer can present with symptoms like vision changes, eye pain, or visible spots on the eye. You might also notice shadows or flashes of light in your vision, or a growing dark spot on the iris. Sometimes, the eye appears red or swollen without an obvious cause.

It’s important to pay attention to these signs and seek an eye specialist for a thorough examination. 

Common Risk Factors for Ocular Cancer 

Understanding the common risk factors for ocular cancer can help you stay vigilant about eye health. Here are some key factors to be aware of: 

  • Age: The risk increases as you get older. 
  • Genetics: A family history of ocular cancer can elevate your risk. 
  • Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can harm your eyes. 
  • Certain Eye Conditions: Conditions like ocular melanocytosis or dysplastic nevus syndrome may contribute to higher risk. 
  • Race and Ethnicity: Some studies suggest that certain racial and ethnic groups may have a higher susceptibility. 

How TrueBeam Technology is Transforming Ocular Cancer Treatment 

Traditional treatments for ocular cancer often meant lengthy, uncomfortable procedures that disrupted patients’ lives.

TrueBeam technology revolutionizes this experience. This innovative system delivers targeted radiation with exceptional accuracy, significantly reducing treatment times to just a few outpatient sessions.

TrueBeam also prioritizes patient comfort, minimizing anxiety and stress associated with treatment.

By focusing on both speed and comfort, TrueBeam empowers patients to focus on healing and maintaining their overall well-being.

The Unmatched Benefits of TrueBeam

  • Minimized Eye Irritation: TrueBeam’s precision targeting reduces the risk of irritation and inflammation commonly experienced with traditional treatments, keeping your eyes more comfortable. 
  • Lower Risk of Vision Changes: TrueBeam’s accuracy ensures that radiation is confined to the tumor area, significantly lowering the chance of vision changes and preserving your sight. 
  • Decreased Sensitivity: Traditional treatments can make your eyes highly sensitive to light. TrueBeam reduces this sensitivity, allowing you to comfortably resume daily activities. 
  • Enhanced Safety: TrueBeam’s state-of-the-art system includes safety features that continually monitor your treatment, reducing the risk of unintended side effects. 
  • Less Nausea: The shorter, more precise treatments with TrueBeam are less likely to induce nausea compared to longer, traditional radiation sessions.
