PURPOSE: To report the technical aspects, complications, and outcomes concerning @entity400 ( @entity400 ) in @entity2184 . DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: @entity1 with @entity2184 who underwent transscleral or transvitreal @entity400 at an ocular oncology center were retrospectively evaluated. @entity400 was performed if the @entity5 was more than 5  mm in thickness. Array comparative genomic hybridization analysis was performed on biopsy samples with sufficient tissue. The main outcome measures were success (sample that gave a successful result for biomarker analysis) rate, complications, liver @entity3 , and overall survival. RESULTS: There were 217 (114 male, 52%) consecutive study @entity1 with a mean age of 56.7 (16-84) years. The mean follow-up period was 31 (range 3.6-61.3) months. Mean @entity5 thickness was 8.4 (range 5-12) mm. The overall success rate of the procedure was 169 @entity1 (77.9%). Thirty-one @entity1 (14.3%) experienced intravitreal @entity548 , of whom 9 (4.1%) required vitreal surgery. There was no case of @entity3225 , orbital dissemination, local recurrence, or @entity1713 . Thirty-two @entity1 (14.7%) developed @entity3 during the study, of whom 20 (9.2%) died. Of the 169 successful samples, 53 @entity1 (31%) were classified as low risk, 41 (24%) as intermediate risk, and 54 (32%) as high risk. Fifteen @entity1 (9%) did not have any detectable @entity2008 and 6 (4%) could not be classified. CONCLUSION: @entity400 is a relatively safe and successful technique that can be routinely used to obtain tissue for molecular genomic analysis; such analysis helps determine the diagnosis and prognosis in @entity2184 .
