Pesquisa de células malignas circulantes em pacientes com melanoma maligno de coróide

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃOO melanoma maligno uveal é o tumor maligno primário intra-ocular mais comum na raça branca (1) e representa 80% do total de casos de melanomas não-cutâneos (2)(3) . O melanoma maligno uveal apresenta uma incidência de aproximadamente sete casos por milhão de pessoas por ano (1) . A eficácia no diagnóstico e tratamento do melanoma maligno uveal melhorou muito nos últimos anos. A oftalmoscopia, quando associada à ultra-sonografia, apresenta precisão superior a 99% confirmada pelo diagnóstico anátomo-pa… Show more

“…Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, with a reported incidence of 6–7 cases annually per million people [ 1 3 ]. Approximately 80% of UMs occur in the choroid, and treatment of these tumors can either be radical—enucleation, for example—or conservative aiming to preserve the eye and as much vision as possible [ 2 ].…”

“…Radiotherapy is generally administered to patients using ruthenium (Ru-106) or iodine (I-125) plaque brachytherapy, although it may be delivered by charged particles or in the form of stereotactic radiotherapy [ 2 , 5 ]. For large UM tumors or those that do not respond well to radiotherapy, enucleation is the most frequent intervention [ 3 , 5 , 6 ].…”

“…É também o tumor maligno primário mais prevalente da íris, embora corresponda a cerca de 5% dos melanomas uveais (FERREIRA et al, 2009 et al, 2010). Uma nova forma de se obter informação prognóstica em tumores sólidos é a pesquisa de células malignas circulantes no sangue periférico (FERNANDES et al, 2007).…”
