Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Uveal melanoma is a rare malignancy originating from melanocytes within the uveal tract. Despite advancements in early diagnosis, localized treatments, and more recently, systemic treatment of metastatic disease, the prognosis for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma remains generally poor. In this Special Issue, we aim to expand our understanding and amplify the latest research and developments in the treatment of uveal melanoma, addressing current challenges and exploring novel approaches. We invite the submission of original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that focus on various aspects of treatment for uveal melanoma. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovations in surgical techniques, radiotherapy, and systemic therapies;
- Genetic and molecular insights into treatment responses;
- Translational research bridging biological behavior with potential clinical implications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
