Prediction of prognosis in patients with uveal melanoma using fluorescence in situ hybridisation
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Uveal melanoma is the commonest malignancy of the eye, with a high proportion of patients dying of metastatic disease. Tumours showing a loss of chromosome 3 and gains of chromosome 8 are associated with a worse prognosis. The efficiency of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) in determining copy numbers of these chromosomes was assessed in individual tumours and related to patient survival....
