Primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) is a rare form of cancer that originates inside the eye, most often in the vitreous humour (the clear, gel-like substance in the center of the eye) or the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye). PIOL is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, typically involving B cells, which are part of the body’s immune system.
Many sufferers ofPrimary intraocular lymphoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Primary intraocular lymphoma. We have recently created an Primary intraocular lymphoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
