Long-Term Survivors with Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
BACKGROUND To report the tumor, patient, and treatment characteristics of long-term metastatic uveal melanoma survivors. METHODS A non-comparative, retrospective case series of patients from a single institution surviving >24 months with metastatic uveal melanoma (UM). RESULTS Nine patients met the study criteria and their charts were reviewed. The mean age at diagnosis of UM was 44.1 years...
متن کاملA new model for Spread Out Bragg Peak in proton therapy of uveal melanoma
In this research, in order to improve our calculations in treatment planning for proton radiotherapy of ocular melanoma, we improved our human eye phantom planning system in GEANT4 toolkit. Different analytical models have investigated the creating of Spread Out Bragg Peak (SOBP) in the tumor area. Bortfeld’s model is one of the most important analytical methods. Using convolution method, a new...
متن کاملA 99mTc-tricine-HYNIC-labeled Peptide Targeting the Melanocortin-1 Receptor for Melanoma Imaging
Melanocortin-1 (MC1) receptor is an attractive melanoma-specific target for the development of α-MSH peptide based imaging and therapeutic agents. In this work a new lactam bridge α-MSH analogue was synthesized and radiolabeled with 99mTc via HYNIC chelator and tricine as co-ligand. Also, stability in human serum, receptor bound internalization and tissue biodistribution in tumor bearing nude m...
متن کاملIdentification of novel chemotherapeutic strategies for metastatic uveal melanoma
Melanoma of the uveal tract accounts for approximately 5% of all melanomas and represents the most common primary intraocular malignancy. Despite improvements in diagnosis and more effective local therapies for primary cancer, the rate of metastatic death has not changed in the past forty years. In the present study, we made use of bioinformatics to analyze the data obtained from three public a...
متن کاملCharacterization of melanocortin-1 receptor gene variants in uveal melanoma patients.
PURPOSE Allelic variations of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene have been linked to red hair and sun-sensitive skin types and may play a role in the susceptibility to develop cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). To define the role of MC1R gene in uveal melanoma, a case control study was performed, in which the presence of MC1R gene variations in uveal melanoma patients was compared with th...
