[The hierarchization of the prognostic factors in uveal malignant melanoma]
Purpose:
To retrospectively study the prognostical factors, that influence disease development as well as survival in patients suffering of uveal malignant melanoma.
Methods:
100 cases of uveal malignant melanoma were thoroughly reviewed clinically and histopathologically. The analysis of the results were carried out by means of the statistically correlated methods.
Results:
Factors having a negative prognostical influence upon the patient's survival were classified following their importance, the most significant of them being the histopathologically necrotic cellular type.
Conclusions:
Classifying the prognostically negative factors in patients with uveal malignant melanoma enabled to choose the most important of them in order to draw up a clinical record card suitable for ensuring a patient, whose eye had been enucleated due to an uveal malignant melanoma.
