Abstract

The presence of melanoma cells in BM of patients with uveal melanoma is documented in our study with IMS and ICC. Immunomagnetically selected is more sensitive than ICC in detecting tumour cells in BM. However, statistically, we did not find any prognostic impact of the presence of melanoma cells in BM.
