Photofrin II as an efficient radiosensitizing agent in an experimental tumor [PDF]
Background and Objective: The use of ionizing irradiation as radiation therapy (RT) for tumor treatment represents a well-established method. The use of photodynamic therapy (PDT), especially with Photofrin II, for tumor treatment is also known. Chemical

Nanobiotechnology‐Based Approaches for Uveal Melanoma Treatment
Emerging platforms for uveal melanoma combine precision drug delivery, ROS‐amplifying modalities, and nucleic acid transport to overcome ocular barriers and immunosuppressive niches. Targeted nanoparticles, virus‐like constructs, and injectable depots enable localized activation, controlled release, and gene‐level reprogramming.

The Potential of Phytochemicals to Overcome Multidrug Resistance in Metastatic Melanoma
ABSTRACT Metastatic melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, accounting for most skin cancer‐related deaths. Immunotherapies and targeted therapies have improved overall and progression‐free survival rates in metastatic melanoma patients. The effectiveness of these therapies decreases due to multidrug resistance (MDR).

Choroidal metastasis as initial presentation of squamous cell carcinoma lung in a patient who had undergone treatment for carcinoma hypopharynx [PDF]
Choroidal metastasis is the most common intraocular malignancy followed by ocular melanoma. This presentation is reported commonly in breast and lung malignancies with multifocal involvement of one eye, or involvement of both eyes.

Shedding light on melanins within in situ human eye melanocytes using 2-photon microscopy profiling techniques. [PDF]
Choroidal melanocytes (HCMs) are melanin-producing cells in the vascular uvea of the human eye (iris, ciliary body and choroid). These cranial neural crest-derived cells migrate to populate a mesodermal microenvironment, and display cellular functions ...

Beyond Treatment: The Strategy of Nonintervention in Choroidal Hemangioma
ABSTRACT The circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) is a benign congenital eye tumor whose etiology is not clear. A 41‐year‐old female patient came with a 2‐year history of slowly progressive deteriorating vision in her right eye. In the left eye, the best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/6, and counting fingers at 1 m in the right eye.

Recombinant methioninase (rMETase) is an effective therapeutic for BRAF-V600E-negative as well as -positive melanoma in patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse models. [PDF]
Melanoma is a recalcitrant disease. Melanoma patients with the BRAF-V600E mutation have been treated with the drug vemurafenib (VEM) which targets this mutation.

ABSTRACT Background Atypical glioblastoma (GBM) (minimal or no necrosis on MRI) and primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) are difficult to distinguish on MRI; whether tumor habitat can more accurately distinguish atypical GBM from PCNSL remains uncertain.
