RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow and blood from patients with cancer may help doctors find out the extent of disease.
PURPOSE: This research study is collecting bone marrow and blood samples from patients with metastatic choroid melanoma.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
OUTLINE: While patients are under general anesthesia for standard treatment of their disease, samples of bone marrow from the iliac crest and blood are collected. Samples are analyzed for the expression of tyrosinase and Melan-a via RT-PCR.
