Ocular and Orbital Tumors: Incidence and Survival Patterns in Germany between 1997 and 2020

Abstract

We aim at determining the incidence and survival of ocular and orbital tumors in Germany and compare the affection of each of the ocular and orbital structures and influence of various factors on incidence and survival. Moreover, we will compare the difference between the geographical parts of Germany. Other comparisons will include gender and the patients born in different generations of the previous century. We have previously published the incidence rates, and in this study we would like to provide trends on longer periods and the relations to the studied factors. Moreover, we are going to correlate the incidence and survival rates with the UV light-index.
