Docket #: S19-500

Early diagnosis and treatment of eye cancer

Stanford researchers have applied large-scale proteomic platforms to identify biomarkers that can be used to diagnose uveal melanoma and subtype eye tumors according to their gene expression profile (GEP) class or PRAME status. These biomarkers can be used alone or in combination with one or more additional biomarkers or relevant clinical parameters in prognosis, diagnosis, or monitoring treatment of eye cancer. The earlier identification of uveal melanoma will expedite the schedule of treatment and increase survival.
