Understanding the Results
Class 1A
Class 1A
These patients are at a low risk of metastasis, with just a 2% chance of the eye cancer spreading over the next five years. Your doctor may recommend a less frequent monitoring program to screen for metastasis, which might include bloodwork, office visit(s) and/or imaging such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT/PET or MRI.
Class 1B
Class 1B
These patients have an intermediate risk of metastasis, or 21% over the next five years. To be on the safe side, your doctor may choose to monitor you more closely.
Class 2
Class 2
These patients are at high risk, with 72% risk of metastasis over the next five years.
If you have a Class 2 tumor, your doctor may recommend a high intensity program to monitor you for evidence of metastasis. This might include quarterly MRI or CT scans, along with quarterly liver function tests. Your doctor may also recommend referral to a medical oncologist for preventive treatment, and to review clinical trial opportunities. Results from genomic testing such as DecisionDx-UM will help determine whether or not you might qualify for such trials as they become available.
