Uveal melanoma: Estimating prognosis
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the eye in adults, predominantly found in Caucasians. Local tumor control of uveal melanoma is excellent, yet this malignancy is associated with relatively high mortality secondary to ...

BAP1 methylation: a prognostic marker of uveal melanoma metastasis [PDF]
Uveal melanoma, the most common intraocular primary cancer in adults, is characterized by striking variability in metastatic tendencies. BAP1 deletion in the primary tumor is associated with uveal melanoma metastasis, but it cannot always be resolved by ...

Allele-Specific GNAQ Q209 Mutations Reveal Context-Dependent Oncogenic Programs in Uveal Melanoma. [PDF]
Using matched immune‐competent, multistep uveal melanoma models, we show that GNAQ Q209L and Q209R mutations are not functionally equivalent. Q209L drives faster in vivo progression but reduces in vitro proliferation and migration, whereas Q209R promotes greater in vitro fitness and preferential FAK‐YAP activation, revealing an allele‐dependent ...

Uveal Melanoma Metastasis [PDF]
Uveal melanoma (UM) is characterized by relatively few, highly incident molecular alterations and their association with metastatic risk is deeply understood. Nevertheless, this knowledge has so far not led to innovate therapies for the successful treatment of UM metastases or for adjuvant therapy, leaving survival after diagnosis of metastatic UM ...

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy and the leading primary intraocular disease which can be fatal in adults. In this paper epidemiologic, pathogenetic, and clinical aspects of uveal melanoma are discussed. Despite the advance in local ocular treatments, there has been no change in patient survival for three decades ...
