Microincisional 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 کاملPre-enucleation irradiation of uveal melanoma.
The relative efficacy of various types of treatment in preventing metastatic uveal melanoma is unclear. We have performed a phase I-II non-randomised trial to determine if patients with large (greater than 15 mm in diameter or greater than 5 mm in thickness) uveal melanomas would benefit from pre-enucleation irradiation. Twenty-eight patients were treated between 1978 and 1983 by means of 5 X 5...
متن کاملOutcomes and Control Rates for I-125 Plaque Brachytherapy for Uveal Melanoma: A Community-Based Institutional Experience
Purpose. To evaluate our community-based institutional experience with plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanomas with a focus on local control rates, factors impacting disease progression, and dosimetric parameters impacting treatment toxicity. Methods and Materials. Our institution was retrospectively reviewed from 1996 to 2011; all patients who underwent plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma...
متن کاملIodine-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 کاملPost-brachytherapy initial tumour regression rate correlates with metastatic spread in posterior uveal melanoma.
AIM To confirm the prognostic value of post-brachytherapy initial tumour regression rate in posterior uveal melanoma. METHODS A prospective, comparative, observational cohort study was carried out on 147 eyes (147 patients) with choroidal melanoma (mean age 61 years) treated with Ru-106 brachytherapy. OBSERVATION PROCEDURE Patients were followed clinically and ultrasonically every 6.7 (SD 0...
