Normando et al. evaluated several biomarkers for their association with the development of OM, including epidermal growth factor, C-reactive protein, genetic polymorphisms, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, growth factors, acute-phase inflammatory markers, cytokines, general proteins, plasma antioxidants, apoptotic proteins, and cells. Here, EGF is linked to ocular melanoma.
