Tebentafusp in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma: A Meta-analysis. (PubMed, Target Oncol)
Tebentafusp for patients with HLA-A*02:01-positive mUM is associated with improved survival outcomes and manageable toxicity. These findings support tebentafusp as the standard of care for this patient population.

Targeting MCM6 Enhances Melphalan Chemosensitivity in Retinoblastoma by Modulating DNA Damage Response. (PubMed, Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci)
MCM6 acts as a critical regulator of retinoblastoma growth and modulates response to melphalan. Targeting MCM6 may offer a therapeutic approach to improve outcomes of chemotherapy in retinoblastoma.

A prognostic model for uveal melanoma in Asian populations: a comparative analysis of clinical features and gene expression patterns using the TRACE and TCGA data. (PubMed, BMC Ophthalmol)
This cross-racial UM study reveals significant molecular and immune differences, indicating that Asian UM may be more responsive to immunotherapy The population-specific prognostic model improves our understanding of molecular differences in Asian and Caucasian UM, warranting further validation in multiethnic cohorts.

Identification of an efficient immunohistochemical panel for precise differential diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of eyelid. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
In addition, TRPS1 exhibited higher AUC values than GATA3 and adipophilin in differentiating primary and recurrent SCs, although the difference was not significant. Collectively, our findings indicate that the TRPS1/GATA3/adipophilin-based model demonstrated excellent discriminatory efficacy for eyelid malignancies (Kappa = 0.784, micro-average F1 = 0.882, AUC-ROC = 0.964 [95%CI:0.934-0.994]), achieving clinical-grade performance.

A pan-cancer analysis to predict the prognosis and immunological role of copper death-related gene DLAT. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
Considering the prognostic implications of DLAT in tumors and its correlations with immune indicators, it is plausible to regard DLAT as both a prognosis feature for certain malignancies and an evaluative metric for immunotherapy efficacy. The findings suggest that DLAT could be a potential therapeutic target and serve as a biomarker for predicting patient outcomes and guiding treatment strategies in various cancers, with its prognostic and immunological implications likely to be context-dependent across different tumor types.

A case-based review of urachal carcinoma with mixed small cell neuroendocrine and adenocarcinoma components, with one new case report and analysis of nine published cases. (PubMed, Front Endocrinol (Lausanne))
The patient received four cycles of adjuvant etoposide-cisplatin (EP) chemotherapy. We report a case managed with umbilicus-sparing urachectomy and extended partial cystectomy followed by EP chemotherapy, together with a review of nine previously published cases. These findings provide literature-based evidence to guide individualized management and inform future multidisciplinary research.

Primary Basal Cell Adenoma of the Lacrimal Gland: A Rare Case. (PubMed, Case Rep Ophthalmol)
BCA is a very rare tumor of the lacrimal gland, but complete resection is the effective treatment. Postoperative follow-up is necessary due to the possibility of malignant transformation.

The Value of Detecting and Monitoring ctDNA in Uveal Melanoma: Results of a Pilot Study and a Systematic Review. (PubMed, Case Rep Ophthalmol)
Co-occurrence of GNAQ, GNAS, and IDH1 mutations may represent a molecular signature of recurrence. Further validation in larger cohorts is needed to define optimal gene panels and VAF thresholds for clinical use.
