METHODS Before enucleation TTT was performed in 11 eyes with a xenon are photocoagulator with a red filter or a diode laser at 810 nm. The exposure time was 1 minute; the estimated temperature at the top of the tumour was about 65 degrees C. RESULTS Seven of 11 tum...
متن کاملCombined plaque radiotherapy and transpupillary thermotherapy in choroidal melanoma: 5 years' experience.
AIM To evaluate the results of combined plaque radiotherapy and transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) in 50 consecutive patients 5 years after treatment. METHODS 50 adult patients with choroidal melanoma were treated with ruthenium-106 ((106)Ru) plaque radiotherapy combined with TTT. A flat scar was the preferred end point of treatment. The mean tumour thickness was 3.9 mm (range 1.5-8.0 mm), th...
