Overview
The incidence of uveal melanoma in the United States is approximately 0.43 per 100, 000 individuals. The incidence of uveal melanoma is approximately .53 to 1.09 cases per 100, 000 individuals worldwide. The incidence of uveal melanoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 70 years. Males are more commonly affected with uveal melanoma than females. The incidence of uveal melanoma in males and females is approximately 0.49 and 0.37 per 100,000 individuals respectively. Uveal melanoma usually affects individuals of the caucasians race.
