Regression Patterns of Iris Melanoma after Palladium-103 (Pd) Plaque Brachytherapy.

The most common findings related to iris melanoma regression afterPd plaque brachytherapy included decreased intrinsic tumor vascularity, increased tumor pigmentation, and decreased tumor thickness with synchronous increase in internal ultrasonographic reflectivity.

Metastatic Death Based on Presenting Features and Treatment for Advanced Intraocular Retinoblastoma: A Multicenter Registry-Based Study.

The AJCC-RB cT2 and cT3 subcategories and size-based AJCC-OOTF Groups 3 (> 2/3 globe volume) and 4 (diffuse infiltrating RB) provided a robust stratification of clinical risk for metastatic death in advanced intraocular RB.

A 12-Year Study of Slotted Palladium-103 Plaque Radiation Therapy for Choroidal Melanoma: Near, Touching, or Surrounding the Optic Nerve.

Slotted plaque radiation therapy provided a normalized plaque-tumor position, such that the entire choroidal melanoma plus a 2- to 3-mm free margin of normal-appearing tissue was included in the targeted zone.

High-risk Pathologic Features Based on Presenting Findings in Advanced Intraocular Retinoblastoma: A Multicenter, International Data-Sharing American Joint Committee on Cancer Study.

The AJCC retinoblastoma staging clinical cT3c-e subcategories (glaucoma, intraocular hemorrhage, and aseptic orbital cellulitis, respectively) as well as the AJCC OOTF Size Groups 3 (tumor more than two thirds of globe volume) and 4 (diffuse…

Diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma: a multicentre, international, data-sharing study.

Approximately 1 in 20 patients with retinoblastoma had DIR, which often presented with glaucoma, anterior segment involvement or intraocular bleeding. DIR was more lethal than non-DIR cT3, with enucleation revealing high-risk pathology.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Invading a Transplanted Cornea: Eye- and Vision-Sparing Palladium-103 Plaque Radiation Therapy for a Functionally Monocular Patient.

Transcorneal intraocular tumor invasion was controlled using palladium-103 ophthalmic plaque radiation therapy applied through the natural and donor cornea. Definitive treatment resulted in local tumor control and preservation of vision.
