Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare aggressive intraocular tumour with a propensity for liver metastases, occurring in ∼50% of patients. The tumour suppressor BAP1 is considered to be key in UM progression. Herein, we present the largest study to date investigating cellular expression patterns of BAP1 protein in 165 UMs, correlating these patterns ...

Uveal melanoma is a frequently metastasizing intraocular tumour. We detected GNAQ or GNA11 Q209 mutations in the plasma of 9 out of 22 metastasized patients using ultradeep sequencing (2–38% mutant reads). The results show that ultradeep amplicon sequencing can be used to detect tumour DNA in plasma of metastasized uveal melanoma patients.

Abstract Objective Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) may develop into elevated anxiety or depression symptoms, but few risk factors for this development are known. Objective recurrence risk estimation is possible in some cancers. Using theories of risk communication and phobias, we examined whether the proportionality of FCR to known objective recurrence
