To analyze the activity of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinases/mechanistic target of rapamycin (PI3K/mTOR) pathways in benign and malignant conjunctival melanocytic proliferations and explore whether specific inhibitors can suppress growth of conjunctival melanoma (CJM) cells.
