Uveal melanoma UK national guidelines: 2023 update

UK Guidelines for the management of uveal melanoma (UM) were first published in 2015 using an evidence-based systematic approach. The primary aim of this guideline was to optimise patient care by providing recommendations based on the best available scientific evidence. The resulting guideline reflected the strengths and weaknesses of the available evidence, made recommendations that were clinically impactful around prognostication, surveillance, and treatment for patients with primary lesions and metastatic disease. The guideline development process and content met the standards required by NICE and were ultimately NICE accredited. Here, we present an update to these guidelines, highlighting where practice or treatment has changed to such an extent that the original recommendations are now out of date. Presented here are updated guidelines on molecular and genetic testing, management of metastatic disease and clinical surveillance.
