Introduction

The Wills Ocular Melanoma Calculator was developed to assist in rapid estimation of risk of choroidal nevus transformation into melanoma. Previously published risk statistics are collated based on user input of the presence or absence of risk factors. Statistical methods used to determine risk factor significance are explained in their respective references.

Limitations and Cautions

Estimated risks presented here only apply to tumors 3.0 mm or less in thickness. The computation of relative risk assumes independence among the factors which may not be the case. The estimated risks presented here are derived from two studies. There is no guarantee that the predicted risk is accurate for individual patients.
