ruthenium-106 plaque radiotherapy for retinal vasoproliferative tumors
purpose: to evaluate the effect of radiation with ruthenium-106 (ru-106) plaques in the control of retinal vasoproliferative tumors methods: this study is a retrospective, interventional nonrandomized case series. seven eyes of seven patients (four males and three females) with retinal vasoproliferative tumors were enrolled. the eyes were treated by ru-106 plaques with mean apex dose of 39 gy (...
متن کاملNomogram for predicting radiation maculopathy in patients treated with Ruthenium-106 plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma
Purpose To develop a predictive model and nomogram for maculopathy occurrence at 3 years after 106Ru/106Rh plaque brachytherapy in uveal melanoma. Material and methods Clinical records of patients affected by choroidal melanoma and treated with 106Ru/106Rh plaque from December 2006 to December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria were: dome-shaped melanoma, distance to the f...
متن کاملRadiation related complications after ruthenium plaque radiotherapy of uveal melanoma.
AIMS/BACKGROUND To analyse radiation related complications and secondary enucleation after irradiation of malignant uveal melanoma with ruthenium-106 plaques. METHODS A series of 100 consecutive eyes irradiated in 1981-91 was analysed using the life table method and the Cox proportional hazards model. The median apical and scleral tumour dose was 100 Gy (range 15-200 Gy) and 1000 Gy (range 20...
متن کاملTreatment of non-resectable malignant iris tumours with custom designed plaque radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND Plaque radiotherapy is the most common method of managing posterior uveal melanoma but its use for iris melanoma and iris metastases has not yet been evaluated. METHODS Fourteen patients with non-resectable iris melanoma and four with iris metastasis were treated with plaque radiotherapy. The tumour response to treatment and the local side effects of the radioactive plaque were eva...
متن کاملA modified COMS plaque for iris melanoma
Melanoma of the iris is a rare condition compared to posterior ocular tumors and in this case report we present a 51-year-old female patient with diffuse iris melanoma. Traditional COMS (Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study) plaques are used at our institution for radiation therapy, so a novel modification of the traditional plaque was required to allow better conformance with placement on the c...
