Researchers Uncover Gene for Melanoma of the Eye

"If ever a cancer gene were discovered in the right place and at the right time, GNAQ may be it. The gene has been known for years but not linked to cancer. Now researchers say that it is mutated in patients with uveal melanoma and may be an important cause of this rare cancer, which arises from cells that give color to the eye."

I know there is a shortage of Oncologists.
