Abstract
SummaryThere will be a debate on fine needle aspiration for uveal melanoma cytogenetic testing. Dr. Carol Shields will argue for biopsy. There are several reasons that biospy is important in identifing tumor cell type, genetic profile and understading risks for metastasis. If high risk, systemic therapies can be effective for reducing risk. If low risk, the patient is comfortable with piece of mind. To not do needle biopsy for melanoma is like living in the Dark Ages and never knowing what the future holds. Fine needle aspiration biopsy for uveal melanoma cytogenetic profile is smart medicine.
