Long-term results of low-dose proton beam therapy for circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas.
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy and outcome of low-dose proton beam irradiation in the treatment of symptomatic circumscribed choroidal hemangioma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective review of 71 patients with symptomatic circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas treated by proton beam irradiation between September 1994 and October 2002 using a total dose of 20 Cobalt Gray Equivalent. ...
متن کاملComplication of an Ahmed glaucoma valve implant: tube exposure with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Neovascular glaucoma is commonly treated surgically with implantation of glaucoma drainage devices. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who underwent an uneventful Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) placement for radiation-induced neovascular glaucoma but later developed early postoperative infection with tube exposure. The infection was identified 3 weeks postoperatively and antibiotic treatment w...
متن کاملTargeted Intraceptor Nanoparticle for Neovascular Macular Degeneration: Preclinical Dose Optimization and Toxicology Assessment.
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is treated with anti-VEGF intravitreal injections, which can cause geographic atrophy, infection, and retinal fibrosis. To minimize these toxicities, we developed a nanoparticle delivery system for recombinant Flt23k intraceptor plasmid (RGD.Flt23k.NP) to suppress VEGF intracellularly within choroidal neovascular (CNV) lesions in a laser-induce...
متن کاملRuthenium-106 brachytherapy for thick uveal melanoma: reappraisal of apex and base dose radiation and dose rate.
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcomes of ruthenium-106 ((106)Ru) brachytherapy in terms of radiation parameters in patients with thick uveal melanomas. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medical records of 51 patients with thick (thickness ≥ 7 mm and < 11 mm) uveal melanoma treated with (106)Ru brachytherapy during a ten-year period were reviewed. Radiation parameters, tumor regression, best corrected visual ac...
متن کاملPlaque radiotherapy of uveal melanoma with predominant ciliary body involvement.
BACKGROUND There are several options for management of ciliary body melanoma, including plaque radiotherapy, charged particle irradiation, local resection, and enucleation. The choice of therapy depends on many factors, and plaque radiotherapy is often used. OBJECTIVES To determine the outcome of plaque radiotherapy in the management of ciliary body melanoma and to identify the risk factors a...
