Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Incurable metastases develop in approximately 50% of patients with uveal melanoma (UM). The purpose of this study was to analyze genomic profiles in a large series of ocular tumors and liver metastases and design a genome-based classifier for metastatic risk assessment. METHODS: A series of 86 UM tumors and 66 liver metastases were analyzed by using a BAC CGH (comparative genomic hybridization)...
