Predictive factors for the development of rubeosis following proton beam radiotherapy for uveal melanoma.
AIMS/BACKGROUND Proton beam radiotherapy can effectively treat primary uveal melanomas of any size. Some patients, however, develop adverse late effects following treatment and the purpose of this study was to determine which factors give rise to a poor local outcome. METHODS The hospital records from a first cohort of 127 patients treated by protons from 1989 to 1992 were reviewed retrospect...
متن کاملIntraocular inflammation after proton beam irradiation for uveal melanoma.
AIM To describe the inflammatory reaction that can occur following proton beam irradiation of uveal melanomas based on a large series of patients and to try to determine the risk factors for this reaction. METHODS Data from a cohort of patients with uveal melanoma treated by proton beam irradiation between 1991 and 1994 were analysed. The presence of inflammation was recorded and evaluated. K...
متن کاملProton beam radiotherapy of iris melanoma.
PURPOSE To report on outcomes after proton beam radiotherapy of iris melanoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between 1993 and 2004, 88 patients with iris melanoma received proton beam radiotherapy, with 53.1 Gy in 4 fractions. RESULTS The patients had a mean age of 52 years and a median follow-up of 2.7 years. The tumors had a median diameter of 4.3 mm, involving more than 2 clock hours of iris in ...
متن کاملProton beam radiotherapy in the management of uveal melanoma: Clinical experience in Scotland
AIM To evaluate proton-beam radiotherapy (PBRT) in the management of uveal melanoma in Scotland. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken on all patients receiving PBRT for uveal melanoma (1994-2005). Data obtained included: gender, past ocular/medical history, age, presenting complaint(s), diagnosis, laterality, tumor location/ultrasound characteristics, visual acuity (VA) and intraocul...
متن کاملMetastatic melanoma death rates by anatomic site after proton beam irradiation for uveal melanoma.
BACKGROUND Ciliary body location is an established prognostic factor for metastasis-related death from uveal melanoma. We evaluated alternative approaches for classifying this covariate when constructing predictive models of patient survival. METHODS AND DESIGN The analyses were based on a consecutive series of 1848 primary choroidal and/or ciliary body melanoma patients treated with proton b...
