Gene expression profiling prognostication of posterior uveal melanoma
Jun 2020
Investigate the influence of tumor size by American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) size, tumor largest basal diameter (LBD), and tumor thickness on prognostication by gene expression profiling (GEP) class.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of gene expression profiling for primary cutaneous melanoma prognosis
May 2020
Systematic review of available evidence on GEP for prognosis. Included meta-analysis of 6 studies on the 31-GEP. Clinical implications show that 31-GEP can better assess prognosis leading to more appropriate patient management.

Molecular risk prediction in cutaneous melanoma: a meta-analysis of the 31-gene expression profile prognostic test in 1,479 patients
Mar 2020
Meta-analysis stage I-II patients. GEP consistently identifies melanoma patients at increased risk of metastasis, independent of clinicopathologic features and can be used in conjunction with traditional staging to improve patient risk stratification.
