Results of 106Ru/Rh-radiation of choroidal melanomas

H Busse et al. Ann Ophthalmol. 1983 Dec.

Abstract

The results of 106Ru/Rh-irradiation in 42 eyes with choroidal melanomas from 1980 to 1983 are reviewed. Indication for this treatment is a tumor size of 1 to 6 mm prominence and maximum extension of 18 mm (12 diameter papillae). In 24 cases a total regression ("grey mouse") was found after an observation time of 12 to 36 months. In nine cases a second irradiation was performed, in four cases an additional photocoagulation. One patient with an advanced tumor (11 mm prominent, single eye) died one year after treatment.
