Local tumor control after 106Ru brachytherapy of choroidal melanoma.
PURPOSE To report on local tumor control after (106)Ru brachytherapy for choroidal melanoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 458 patients with choroidal melanoma were treated at a single institution between January 1993 and December 2001. The tumors had a median longest basal dimension of 10.6 mm and a median height of 3.2 mm. The brachytherapy was administered using a 15- or 20-mm plaque. F...

ondary lysosomes. It is unknown exactly how the impaired lysosomal function results in the clinical features, but it is likely that retained storage material in the retina along with other, yet-to-be– elucidated mechanisms results in widespread RPE dysfunction and photoreceptor death. In conclusion, the 2 patients presented herein and those described by Springer et al demonstrate that, in addit...
متن کاملIncreased macular choroidal blood flow velocity and decreased choroidal thickness with regression of punctate inner choroidopathy
BACKGROUND Changes in choroidal circulation hemodynamics during the course of punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) remain unknown. The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate changes in choroidal blood flow velocity by using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) in patients with PIC. CASE PRESENTATION This PIC patient was initially treated with systemic corticosteroids for 4 months. LSFG mea...
متن کاملTumor basal area and metastatic death after proton beam irradiation for choroidal melanoma.
BACKGROUND Tumor dimension is an established prognostic factor for metastasis-related death after radiotherapy for uveal melanoma. OBJECTIVE To compare various methods of modeling the relationship between tumor dimension and metastatic death. PATIENTS AND METHODS The analyses were based on a consecutive series of 1204 patients with primary choroidal melanoma treated with proton beam irradia...
