Expert assessment of infiltration depth and recommendation of endoscopic resection technique in early Barrett cancer [PDF]
Abstract Background Early Barrett cancer can be curatively treated by endoscopic resection. The choice of the resection technique, however—endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or submucosal dissection (ESD)—largely depends on the assumed infiltration depth as judged by the endoscopist. However, the accuracy of endoscopic diagnosis of the degree of cancer

Toward Precision Medicine: Gene Therapy Applications in the Management of Uveal Melanoma [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Uveal melanoma (UM) is the prevailing malignant tumor that develops within the eye in adults, and it has a bleak outlook because of the few treatment choices available and the high likelihood of returning after treatment. Currently, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and a combination of both modalities are available ...

Estimating uveal melanoma volume with ellipsoid tumour models [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Ellipsoid tumour models are used to approximate the tumour volume of uveal melanomas, as the conventionally used ultrasound does not provide a three‐dimensional visualization of the tumour. However, these models are a simplification of the actual tumour geometry.

Localized Choroidal Melanoma Managed by Pars Plana Endoresection, Endodiathermy, and Endolaser [PDF]
Choroidal melanoma, although rare, is the most common primary intraocular malignancy among adults, with an incidence ranging from 6 to 7.5 cases per million per year globally. This tumor originates from the uveal tract's melanocytes in the eye. Melanomas usually arise from the sixth decade of age with increasing incidence with progressive age.
