Product Description
Recent studies have revealed that that uveal melanoma and cutaneous melanoma are remarkably different diseases. Uveal Melanoma: A Model for Exploring Fundamental Cancer Cell Biology provides insights into some of these differences and summarizes recent developments regarding the basic research on biology and metastasis of uveal melanoma. It is a compendium of 20 chapters written by an international collection of authors who are currently involved with uveal melanoma research. They explore current research and thinking on the pathobiology of and expansion of treatment options for, this type of melanoma. Illustrations include characterization of genomic uveal melanoma cell lines.

And how are those factors different from or similar to the ones that cause uveal melanomas to arise de novo (new)? How on earth is it possible that the rates of incidence (the number of people diagnosed) and mortality (number of people dying) for uveal melanoma remain eerily unchanged for decades despite diagnosing and treatment advances? Just what is uveal melanoma? More importantly, how do we successfully treat this rare and puzzling cancer? This book does not answer any of these questions. So far, much of the research on uveal melanoma chromosomes, molecules and proteins has only confirmed long-standing clinical observations that tumor pigmentation, diameter, blood vessel morphology, cell type, race, and eye color influences its...
