Axiron is transdermal supplement containing synthetic testosterone. Much like other androgen gels, it is administered through the skin. However, Axiron is unique in that it can be applied to the armpit for optimum absorption. Once applied, Axironâs other ingredients (ethanol and isopropyl alcohol) evaporate and leave testosterone on your skin. Over time, the testosterone is absorbed and is released into your blood stream.
Eye cancer is a general term used to describe the types of cancer that can develop on or within the eye. When people speak of this cancer, they are usually referencing ocular melanoma, the most common type found in adults. However, eye cancer can occur in children in the form of a disease called retinoblastoma.
An orbital tumor refers to any tumor located in the âorbit,â which is the bony socket in the front of the skull that contains the eye. The socket is a complicated structure that includes the eye itself along with muscles, nerves, and connective tissue. The socket is widest in the front and narrows toward the back, where the optic nerve leaves the socket and connects to the brain. Even a tiny tumor in this small, crowded space can cause significant symptoms and functional effects. Larger tumors can cause the eye to bulge forward and cause serious vision problems.
