FIELD: medicine; ophthalmology.
SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for simultaneous verification of uveal melanoma and forecast of metastasis development. Immunohistochemical analysis of protein S-100 and melanin-A expression within tumour cell is accompanied with simultaneous estimation of S-100-positive cells number within visual field. Uveal melanoma is verified if reaction of S-100 and melanin-A is positive with forecasted high possibility of tumour dissemination in case number of S-100-positive cells number is less than 50.
