More treatment information

For more details on treatment options — including some that may not be addressed in this document — the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) are good sources of information.

The NCI provides treatment information via its telephone center (1-800-4-CANCER) and its Web site (www.cancer.gov). Detailed treatment information intended for use by cancer care professionals is also available on www.cancer.gov.

The NCCN, made up of experts from many of the nation's leading cancer centers, develops cancer treatment guidelines for doctors to use when treating patients. These are available on the NCCN Web site (www.nccn.org). The NCCN has treatment guidelines for melanoma of the skin and different types of lymphoma, but not specifically for cancers of the eye.
