متن کاملOutcomes of medium choroidal melanomas treated with ruthenium brachytherapy guided by three-dimensional pretreatment modeling.
PURPOSE The Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) established iodine-125 (I-125) plaque brachytherapy for eye preserving treatment of medium-sized choroidal melanomas in the United States. Eye Physics I-125 plaque treatment modeled with Plaque Simulator (PS) software yields similar results to COMS. Herein, we report results from a series of 15 patients treated with ruthenium-106 (Ru-106) p...
متن کاملChoroidal melanomas with a collar-button configuration: response pattern after iodine 125 brachytherapy.
OBJECTIVE To describe a distinctive type of postbrachytherapy response pattern among choroidal melanomas with a collar-button configuration. METHODS Ninety-three consecutive eyes with choroidal melanoma treated with iodine I 125 brachytherapy before 1991 were reviewed to identify melanomas with a collar-button configuration. Postbrachytherapy response patterns of these melanomas were reviewed...
