Description
Eye socket cancers in Norway are charted over 22 years by Bendik Alvheim Sundfjord's team in a 2026 series. Medical records at Haukeland University Hospital from the years 1999 to 2020 yielded 76 patients in total, a yearly incidence of 0.30 per 100,000 people in Western Norway.
Median age at diagnosis was 64 years. Invading secondary tumors led at 46%, then lymphoproliferative disease at 24%, metastases at 16%, and primary orbital tumors at 14%. Surgery removed tumors in 55% of patients, radiotherapy reached 72%, and relapse or spread hit 42%. Five-year disease-specific survival was 59% overall for all patients but 82% for the lymphoproliferative group alone.
