Overview

Some patients with uveal melanoma may have elevated liver enzyme level, which is usually suggestive of metastasis.

Laboratory Tests

Some patients with uveal melanoma may have elevated liver enzyme level, which is usually suggestive of metastasis.^[1]

-[[Liver function]] tests include checking for serum levels of [[lactate dehydrogenase]], [[gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase]], [[alkaline phosphatase]], and glutamic-oxaloacetic [[transaminase]].
-These tests can be elevated in uveal melanoma that has metastasized to the [[liver]].
-The following tests may be done on the sample of tissue to get more information about prognosis of uveal melanoma:<ref name="NCI">Uveal melanoma. National Cancer Institute(2015) http://www.cancer.gov/types/eye/hp/intraocular-melanoma-treatment-pdq Accessed on October 24 2015</ref>
-===Cytogenetic analysis===
-A laboratory test in which cells in a sample of tissue are viewed under a microscope to look for certain changes in the [[chromosomes]].
-===Gene expression profiling===
-A laboratory test in which cells in a sample of [[tissue]] are checked for certain types of [[RNA]].
-A [[biopsy]] may result in [[retinal detachment]] which can can be repaired by [[surgery]].
-===Biopsy===
-As almost all cases of uveal melanoma can be accurately diagnosed by the eye exam and imaging tests, a biopsy is not often needed. However, some doctors have started using biopsies to get a sample of the [[tumor]] for [[gene]] testing. This can help predict whether the melanoma is likely to come back outside of the eye at some point
-*Biopsy of the uveal melanoma is not preffered because it can be hard to get a sample of the tumor without damaging the eye.
-*Biopsy could possibly spread the tumor within or outside of the eye.
