Long‐Term Local Control and Mortality After Transpupillary Thermotherapy of Small Uveal Melanomas
Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) is used for selected small choroidal melanocytic tumours, either as primary treatment or as an adjunct to plaque brachytherapy. We compared long‐term local recurrence and mortality outcomes after primary TTT alone, plaque brachytherapy combined with TTT (brachy+TTT), and plaque brachytherapy alone (
