The evaluations conducted in the COMS are aimed at determining which of two alternative therapies better prolongs the remaining lifetime of individuals diagnosed as having choroidal melanoma and, if two alternatives provide similar expectations of survival, to determine which offers the patient the longer cancer-free life and the better prognosis for vision overall.
