Further, to explore the racial differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes between Chinese and Caucasian patients. Methods This cohort study included 57 eyes of 57 consecutive patients with pathologically verified conjunctival melanoma between 1996 and 2016. Medical records ...
متن کاملA case of conjunctival malignant melanoma with local recurrence.
Malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva is a rare tumour of middle and old age. It is seen predominantly in whites, and is rare in those of pigmented ethnicity.

متن کاملScreening for conjunctival melanoma metastasis: literature review.
Local tumour control in conjunctival melanoma has improved in recent years. However the tumour-related death rate of these patients is still 14% at 5 years up to 33% at 15 years. With the introduction of sentinel node biopsies for conjunctival melanomas with a poor prognosis and screening for locoregional and distant metasases prognosis might be improved.
متن کاملRetrograde metastasis of cutaneous melanoma to conjunctival lymphatics.

متن کاملLessons learned from lymphocytes: CC chemokine receptor-7 involved in lymphogenic metastasis of melanoma.
The metastatic potential of primary tumors is the chief prognostic determinant of malignant disease (1). Although distinct patterns of metastasis have long been recognized by clinicians, the underlying molecular mechanisms along with the alterations in gene expression of tumor cells required for these processes have begun to emerge only recently. Metastasis and invasion are regulated by extensi...
