Presence of tumor DNA in aqueous humor is correlated with high risk uveal melanoma

Abstract excerpt

Metastatic risk stratification is critical for uveal melanoma (UM) management, as approximately up to half of patients develop metastatic disease. Current prognostication for patients undergoing eye-preserving therapies relies on tumor staging and molecular analysis of tumor tissue obtained through potentially invasive biopsy, which can be challenging. While liquid biopsy using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has emerged...
