Iodine-125 Brachytherapy for Uveal Melanoma: A Systematic Review of Radiation Dose.
AIM To investigate whether lower radiation doses may yield similar outcome measures to those from the COMS trial. METHODS A literature review of English language articles was performed using the PubMed database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials using the following keywords: uveal melanoma, choroidal melanoma, primary uveal malignan...
متن کاملMicroincisional vitrectomy for retinal detachment in I-125 brachytherapy-treated patients with posterior uveal malignant melanoma
PURPOSE To analyze functional and anatomical outcomes following 23/25(+) gauge microincisional pars plana vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) in patients with radiation-related retinal detachment after successful 125-iodine (I-125) brachytherapy treatment for malignant uveal melanoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective case series of 102 consecutive eyes of 102 patients with history of uveal melanoma t...
متن کاملAttenuation of iodine 125 radiation with vitreous substitutes in the treatment of uveal melanoma.
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate attenuation of radiation from iodine 125 ((125)I) to intraocular structures using liquid vitreous substitutes. METHODS Four candidate vitreous substitutes were tested for attenuation using empirical measurement and theoretical calculation. In vitro and ex vivo cadaveric dosimetry measurements were obtained with lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosimeters to demonstr...
متن کاملEffect of radiation dose on ocular complications after iodine brachytherapy for large uveal melanoma: empirical data and simulation of collimating plaques.
PURPOSE To calculate radiation doses to intraocular tissues in iodine brachytherapy (IBT) for large uveal melanoma, to study their relationship to ocular complications, and to assess a modified plaque design to reduce doses to the macula and optic nerve. METHODS Ninety-six patients with a uveal melanoma, classified as large according to the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study criteria, underw...
متن کاملBrachytherapy of Uveal Melanomas with Ruthenium-106 Plaques
Background: Brachytherapy is the most commonly used conservative treatment for the uveal melanoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate therapeutic results of Ruthenium-106 plaque brachytherapy in the management of localized uveal melanoma cases. Methods: We reviewed retrospectively the clinical records of all patients treated in our department for an uveal melanoma, undergoing Ruthenium-106 p...
