Episcleral Plaque Brachytherapy For Uveal Melanoma
Güncel Retina Dergisi (Current Retina Journal), 2023 Treatment of uveal melanomas with enucleation surgery has been the primary method for more than 100 years. The Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) demonstrated in 2001 that globe-sparing episcleral brachytherapy for uveal melanoma was a safe and an effective method and there was no difference in survival rates compared with enucleation therapy.
