СРАВНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ОЦЕНКА КАЧЕСТВА ЖИЗНИ ПАЦИЕНТОВ С МЕЛАНОМОЙ ХОРИОИДЕИ ПРИ РАЗЛИЧНЫХ ВАРИАНТАХ ЛЕЧЕНИЯ

The paper analyzes quality-of-life indicators in patients with choroidal melanoma after organ-removing and organ-saving treatments. Their quality of life after different treatments was found to have no statistically significant differences. Enucleation in patients with choroidal melanoma ensured higher values in the block of emotional well-being after surgery. After organ-saving treatment, the patients showed a significant reduction in quality of life as a total score in the late follow-up period.
