Description
Summary:	[...]we are dismayed by Foss and Cree's failure to see the point of routinely assessing angiogenesis in uveal melanomas because "there are no treatment decisions to be made". Progress is being made in the laboratory, albeit slowly, in designing effective strategies to treat metastatic uveal melanoma,even though no effective treatment is available presently. [...]treatment does become available, it is reasonable to gather as much information as possible from prognostic features such as the tumour's microcirculation architecture.
