Uveal melanoma : review of the day

The second edition of the uveal melanoma day brought together almost 60 participants at Institut Curie. The conference, organised by Manuel Rodrigues, had multiple objectives: 

1. Explain the disease
2. Present the ongoing clinical trials as well as the results of past trials
3. Show the impact of sample donation on the progression of research and in particular for genetic aspects and clinical trials
4. Give visibility to patient-led actions for example patient associations, discussion forums, etc.
