Researchers Tracked Origins of a Form of Eye Cancer - Uveal Melanoma研究人員追踪的起源的一種形式,眼癌-葡萄膜黑色素瘤

Researchers at West Virginia University have tracked the origins of a form of eye cancer, Uveal Melanoma , that often leads to the removal of the eye and death.研究人員在西維吉尼亞大學有履帶式的起源的一種形式,眼癌, 葡萄膜黑色素瘤 ,往往導致搬遷的眼睛和死亡。

The research may lead to new treatments for the cancer, said Joginder Nath, professor of genetics and developmental biology at WVU.研究可能導致新的治療藥物為癌症,說joginder納特教授,遺傳學與發育生物學wvu 。 Nath, along with former doctoral students Jason White and Alison Myska, recently published their findings in two genetics journals.納特,隨著前博士班學生傑森白色和艾莉森myska ,最近出版了他們的研究結果在兩個遺傳學雜誌。

Geneticists have taken the research as far as they can, and now it is up to oncologists to find ways to use the information to treat patients, Nath said.遺傳學家已採取的研究而言,他們可以,現在是到腫瘤設法利用這些信息來診治病人,納特說。

Researchers compared the cells using two types of fluorescent labeling of DNA to determine how many copies of the DNA there were.研究人員相比,細胞用兩種類型的熒光標記的DNA ,以確定有多少份的DNA有。 Another technique involved tracking the physical rearrangement of chromosomes in a tumor cell.另一種技術所涉及的跟踪身體的染色體重排在一個腫瘤細胞。 The tumor is usually not detected until vision is impaired and it has grown quite large, that means the patient often loses their eye and by that time often the cancer has spread to the liver, and once that occurs, prognosis is quite poor.腫瘤通常是並沒有發現,直到視覺受損,而且增加了相當大的,這意味著病人往往失去了他們的眼睛和由當時的往往是癌症已擴散到肝臟,一旦發生,預後是相當差。

The research should lead to new treatment techniques but won't likely help with early detection, Nath said.該研究應導致新的治療技術,但不會有可能幫助及早發現,納特說。
