TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to describe the clinical features, pathology and molecular biology of intraocular lymphomas, which represent a heterogenous group of malignant neoplasms, to propose an anatomical classification of these tumours according to whether they occur in the retina or uvea; and to overview laboratory investigations and highlight factors required for successful biopsy.

TL;DR: The results support the use of MLPA for routine clinical prognostication, especially if the genetic data are considered together with clinical and histologic risk factors, and suggests that chromosomal abnormalities in uveal melanoma accumulate in a variable sequence.

TL;DR: An online tool is developed that predicts survival of patients with choroidal melanoma using histologic grade, genetic type, and competing causes of death, and taking normal life-expectancy into account and is accurate enough to be relevant to individual patients.

TL;DR: Many patients with uveal melanoma experience long delays in treatment because their tumor was missed or misdiagnosed, and such patients tend to have a more advanced tumor by the time they reach an oncology center and are more likely to require enucleation.
