The clinical and histopathological features of patients with both uveal and cutaneous melanoma

The Pan-American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
Introduction: It is unusual to have uveal and cutaneous melanoma in the same patient. It is challenging to differentiate between primary uveal melanoma (UM) and melanoma metastatic to the uvea.

BAP1 methylation: a prognostic marker of uveal melanoma metastasis

npj Precision Oncology, 2021
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 ...

Mda-9/syntenin is expressed in uveal melanoma and correlates with metastatic progression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Uveal melanoma is an aggressive cancer that metastasizes to the liver in about half of the patients, with a high lethality rate. Identification of patients at high risk of metastases may provide indication for a frequent follow-up for early detection of ...

Uveal melanoma incidentally diagnosed with neuroimaging, a case series of 3 patients

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy and can occur in the choroid, the ciliary body, or the iris. It is most often diagnosed based on clinical examination by an ophthalmologist. Nearly all patients present with visual symptoms.

Overexpression of long non-coding RNA NORAD promotes invasion and migration in malignant melanoma via regulating the MIR-205-EGLN2 pathway. [PDF]

, 2019
Growing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs NORAD and miR-205 play a significant role in regulating cancer progression and metastasis. In this study, high expression of NORAD was firstly observed in melanoma tissues and human malignant melanoma ...

Uveal melanoma: Estimating prognosis

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015
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 ...

Base-excision repair pathway shapes 5-methylcytosine deamination signatures in pan-cancer genomes

Nature Communications
Transition of cytosine to thymine in CpG dinucleotides is the most frequent type of mutation in cancer. This increased mutability is commonly attributed to the spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), which is normally repaired by the base ...

Identify the signature genes for diagnose of uveal melanoma by weight gene co-expression network analysis [PDF]

International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015
AIM: To identify and understand the relationship between co-expression pattern and clinic traits in uveal melanoma, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) is applied to investigate the gene expression levels and patient clinic features ...

Expression of Tryptophan 2,3-Dioxygenase in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma [PDF]

, 2020
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary eye malignancy in adults and up to 50% of patients subsequently develop systemic metastasis. Metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) is highly resistant to immunotherapy.
