Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Uveal melanoma is highly aggressive, and overall prognosis depends on mutation status. Fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs) play an important role in obtaining fresh tissue for cytologic diagnosis and molecular studies. It has been suggested that, although FNAB usually provides high diagnostic accuracy, there may be limited cellularity, which may compromise diagnostic potential for molecular...
