Uveal melanoma following Bruton's tyrosine inhibitor use for the treatment of hematologic malignancies

Patients being treated with BTK inhibitors may be at higher risk for the development of uveal melanoma. Based on our findings, we recommend increased surveillance of this patient population for secondary primary or metastatic uveal melanoma. Continued documentation of occurrence in conjunction with research at a molecular and cellular level are warranted to better understand the impact of systemic cancer therapies on secondary malignancies.
