DOI: 10.1038/s41388-021-02111-x
Abstract: As the p53 tumor suppressor is rarely mutated in conjunctival melanoma (CM), we investigated its activation as a potential therapeutic strategy. Preventing p53/Mdm2 interaction by Nutlin-3, the prototypical Mdm2 antagonist, or via direct siRNA Mdm2… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41433-021-01454-9
Abstract: Growing evidence supports an individualised approach rather than radical surgery for conjunctival melanoma (CM). This study aimed to compare the long-term outcome between individualised and conventional exenteration techniques. Our study retrospectively recruited advanced CM (clinical… read more here.
