Abstract

The diagnosis of the most common ocular fundus tumours can be achieved according to clinical features including their malignant potential, anatomical location within the eye, and relation to systemic disease, as well as imaging features. The majority of these tumours can be classified into four major categories according to their clinical presentation.

Prof. Dr. Hatem Krema is the director of the Ocular Oncology program at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, University of Toronto, Canada. Dr. Krema had his ocular oncology training in the USA, UK, and Canada. He is interested in translational clinical research in the field of ophthalmic oncology. His focus is on defining better algorithms for radiotherapy of the ocular and adnexal cancers, management of treatment-related complications, introduction of innovative surgical techniques, and the role of molecular genomics in the management of ophthalmic tumours. He has a large body of peer-reviewed publications and book chapters in the field of ocular oncology. He has been an invited guest speaker and chair moderator at several international conferences. Dr. Krema has been invited to give courses and teaching sessions in ocular oncology to residents and fellows in several countries; he was granted “The Residents’ Award for the Best Teacher in the Department of Ophthalmology of University of Toronto” in 2013, and has been titled an Honorary Fellow of the International Council of Ophthalmology in 2017.
