Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for the Rx of Uveal Melanoma and Uveal Metastases

Jun 7, 2017301 views

Ocular metastases are the most common intraocular malignancy, while uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy. Cancer treatments have evolved to prioritize the most effective minimally invasive treatments with the fewest side effects. For these reasons, proton beam therapy, plaque brachytherapy, and gamma knife radiosurgery (GKR) have become more common. Recent studies have demonstrated that GKR has a similar efficacy to proton beam therapy and plaque brachytherapy.Few reports have been published describing the use of GKR in eyes with UM and uveal metastases. We wish to report our results of patients that underwent GKR for UM and uveal metastases.
