Uveal melanoma: proton beam irradiation
Ophthalmol Clin North Am.
2005 Mar.
Abstract
Over the past two decades, radiotherapy has replaced enucleation as the standard treatment for uveal melanoma. Although this method does not alter survival, preservation of the globe and, in some instances, visual function, is achieved. This article presents the authors' and other investigators' experience with proton therapy.
