Abstract

Psychosocial needs of patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) have not been routinely assessed and addressed in clinical practice. Yet, awareness of patients' anxiety, depression, and perceived quality of life in those with MUM can influence care that meets patients' bio-psycho-social-spiritual needs.
