Gene expression profiling in uveal melanoma: technical reliability and correlation of molecular class with pathologic characteristics

Abstract Background A 15-gene expression profile test has been clinically validated and is widely utilized in newly diagnosed uveal melanoma (UM) patients to assess metastatic potential of the tumor. As most patients are treated with eye-sparing radiotherapy, there is limited tumor tissue available...
