Abstract
Presentation Description :
The approval of MAP Kinase pathway inhibitors for the treatment of metastatic cancer has resulted in the recognition of specific ocular toxicities in certain cases. The most common ocular toxicity is the development of focal neurosensory retinal detachment of the macula, most readily detectable by OCT. Uveitis may also occur as a result of MEK and BRAF inhibitors together with neurosuensory retinal detachment or on its own. This uveitis is usually asymptomatic and detectable only by clinical examination. Treatment involves periocular steroid and the uveitis may persist long after discontinuation of MEK inhibition. Diagnosis and management of these and other ocular toxicities will be discussed.
