متن کاملProton beam therapy for the treatment of uveal melanoma in Scotland.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In Scotland, uveal melanomas are primarily treated with eye-preserving modalities with a low primary enucleation rate. Proton beam therapy (PBT) is reserved for those not suitable for brachytherapy. The authors' aim was to review the outcome of Scottish patients undergoing treatment for uveal melanoma with PBT. METHOD All ciliary body or choroidal melanomas treated initial...
