  • Title: [An analytic study of metastatic carcinoma to the uvea].
    Author: Zhang J, Yi YZ, Fen GG.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yan Ke Za Zhi; 1994 May; 30(3):195-7. PubMed ID: 7842999.
    Abstract:
    The authors analyzed 107 cases of metastatic carcinoma to the uvea, 21 cases from their hospital and 86 cases from Chinese literature, to find no predilection for either eye and that the tumor originated from the lung in 45 cases (42.1%) and from the breast in 14 cases (13.1%). Among 43 cases of lung cancer with records, 33 cases reported visual symptoms as their first complaints while none of the 14 cases of breast cancer so did. This could have been due to the higher incidence of lung carcinoma which was also less readily detected.
