title: Immunological mechanisms in choroidal melanoma.
abstract: There are now several experimental immunological assays which may occasionally be useful as additional diagnostic tests for choroidal melanoma. These tests may also be helpful as a guide to prognosis. In patients who have a poor prognosis, immunotherapy may prolong survival after enucleation.
